1-MIN LESSON • TENSION RELEASE
Why do stress loops unconsciously clench your teeth and tighten your neck?
A practical DrLina health cue exploring how releasing your jaw calms your entire brain.
01The Science (Physiological Mechanism)
Your jaw and upper shoulder muscles are directly wired to your body's stress response. Clenching your teeth sends signals back to your brain that keep stress hormones flowing.
02The Actionable Rule & Biometric Benchmark
“Use the 'Tongue Rest' technique: gently place the tip of your tongue against the roof of your mouth just behind your upper teeth, keeping your teeth slightly apart and shoulders dropped.”
03Daily Practice (1-Minute Protocol)
Drop your shoulders away from your ears, unclench your teeth, and let your jaw hang relaxed.
