Have you ever felt stressed or frightened? The most likely answer is ‘yes’.
Apart from being bad for your mental health, stress and fear can lead to obesity, diabetes, dementia and even an early death – and almost half of the Americans often report these feelings, often stimulated by economic and political misery.
Although millions are struggling, don’t know much how to deal with stress and fear in a healthy way. But TV star and ex -military man Bear Grylls – who was in the race to become the British ambassador in the US – revealed his top tips to lead a more relaxed and healthy life in an interview with the Daily Mail.
Grylls says he has learned to treat stress through his military training, and when it comes to tackling a stressful situation, the first step of the father of three is to openly talk about it with others.
By calling out your worries, you can tackle the problem in a more constructive way, he says.
“It is important to know the power of sharing struggles and fears with a good friend,” GLYLS explains. “After all, a shared problem has halved a problem.”
Grylls also emphasizes the importance of realizing that stressful situations are often outside of our control and yet only temporary – most things will pass by.
“Know that the battle will not last forever and that the most difficult moments are often just before things change things for good,” he adds.

Although it is sometimes spirit about matter, there are physical tricks that uses grils to break stress.
The TV star is known for braving temperatures under zero during his survival programs such as Man vs. Wild, from the ruthless areas from Iceland to the banks of Antarctica, and says that he has started to realize the benefits of cold water therapy.
An Italian study published in 2021 investigated the effects of Winter Sea on stress reactions. Almost 230 people participated in the study.
Question results suggested that people who bathed in the ice -cold water had a ‘higher perception’ of well -being.
They also seemed to be able to better cope with stressful situations – as exposed to cold temperatures.
GLYLS says that when he is home, he is a fan of cold showers.
He proposes to make your shower water cold for a minute to ‘strengthen yourself as nothing else’.
The survivalist adds: ‘HIt is a huge long -term confidential builder to do the discipline to do the difficult, even something so simple and short. ‘

From his military training, Glls (photo) says that he has learned how to deal with stress. He adds that it is ‘like a muscle: the more we are, the easier it will be to deal with’

GLYLS has two dogs Sybil, a lap dog (photo) and nanook, which means polar bear inuit. He says his family would be lost without them
Together with cold showers, another thing that Grylls likes to do as much as possible, is to eat natural food, because this can ‘help to stimulate your mood and stay sharp mentally’.
A 2023 study from Brazil showed that the depression rates were about 80 percent higher in people who ate the most ultra-processed foods.
The products included chocolate, chips, cookies, ice cream, cake and frozen meals.
Dr. David Crepaz-Key, of the Mental Health Foundation, said in the light of the findings that ‘what we eat can influence our mood in a number of ways: directly through brain chemistry, how it influences our sleep, our physical health and how it feels about ourselves.
“Our mind and bodies need a healthy, balanced diet and this is something that we don’t only get from ultra-processed food.”
GLYLS agreed and told the Daily Mail: ‘Stay as much as possible away from processed foods that have been proven to negatively influence your mood and prospects. ‘
Another major stress buster for Grylls is in nature and sports.
With his military background, the Brit says that he has maintained a sense of discipline around physical exercise and will train daily to stay fit.
He suggests that people ‘go small and build up’ – even a short walk can help to lower the stress levels.

GLYLS, seen in 2016, says he was dealing with various stressful situations in his life, but the time he felt the most sad was when he broke his back in Africa while he served as a soldier
Moreover, he says that an emotional support system is important – whether it is of loved ones or hairy companions.
Grylls has two dogs and says that his family would be lost without them: ‘Get a pet if you can and if your lifestyle allows this.
“Animals and that close bond between pet and owner is a huge reliever of stress.”
Has a research Shown that simply stroking a dog lowers the stress hormone cortisol.
The social interaction between people and their pets increases the levels of feel-good hormone oxytocin, which is the same hormone that binds mothers to babies.
Finally, his tip is to find a feeling of calmness in daily life to ‘choose your attitude every morning’.
Grylls says he was dealing with various stressful situations in his life, but the time he felt the most sad was when he broke his back in Africa while he served as a soldier.
He said to the mail: ‘I was told that I might no longer go well and spent many months in and out of military rehabilitation.
‘It killed my self -confidence as much as my physicality, and I had to build both again from the ground.
‘But the experience has taught me that you are never ready until you are ready, and that the most difficult moments of our lives can actually be the beginning. Never give up hope. ‘
