Tension doesn't only makes you want tear your hair out,it also makes you unhealthy and fat.

When someone tells you,"dont get tense yaar",dont you wanna slap him?May be thats an over-reaction,but given that you are trying different things in one minute,you can be forgiven atleast a sarcastic comment.But what after that?YOU SHOULD RELAX,because tension leads to several health problems.And learning to relax is not too hard.

Tension begins in the mind,but it gradually becomes a physical problem.Whenever you are tensed physically or mentally,it tightens your muscles.If the tension is not released,the time you are under stress.That means you add on another layer of tension.Your muscles tightens more and it goes on.
You may store tension in your neck or shoulders.Some people store it in their stomach or buttocks,or chest or face,others in their limbs.It can effect not only the outer but also the deeper skeletal layers.So over a period of time you may appear with stooped shoulders,a pulled down face or a slow walk or any other manifestation of you tension.

TENSION IS A SILENT KILLER.The body metabolism slows down in tension which leads to improper digestion of the food and resulting in fat accumulation.Which can lead to high B.P.,high cholestrol and heart problems.
And dont forget that if you dont learn to relax,you may also become unattractive over time.
Premature greying,wrinkling,dry-skin,acne......tension can lead to all this.
To reduce the tension use your mind and body.
