5) WRITE ABOUT THE FOLLOWING TOPIC USING BETWEEN 120-150 WORDS (4 POINTS). If you were a doctor, what would you suggest that your patients should do to reduce their daily stress?

Solución: Sample response: If I were a doctor, I would explain to my patients that stress is not merely a mental sensation, but a physical condition that affects their entire body, including heart health and skin condition. First of all, I would strongly advise them to establish a healthy sleep routine. Getting seven to eight hours of quality sleep every night allows the brain to recharge and lowers cortisol levels naturally. Secondly, regular physical activity is essential. Even a brisk daily walk of thirty minutes triggers the release of endorphins, which enhance mood and decrease anxiety. In addition, patients should adopt a balanced diet, reducing excessive caffeine and sugar intake. Finally, I would encourage them to set clear boundaries between work and personal life by practicing mindfulness, meditation, or simply taking dedicated breaks throughout the day. In conclusion, managing stress requires consistent lifestyle adjustments rather than relying solely on medication.
