Abstract:
The digitalization process and the constant and prolonged use of digital technologies can lead to the development of digital stress, defined with the term technostress. This type of stress is related to the relationship between individuals and digital technologies and can lead to some related drifts, such as techno-anxiety and techno-addiction, concerning states of anxiety, apprehension, fear, or addiction toward digital technologies. Thus, it is crucial to avoid and lessen the potential development of technostress, particularly in the current historical age that has expanded the number of smart workers in constant touch with various digital technologies. This contribution highlights the potential applications of multi-integrated neuroscientific protocols to assess how technology can influence interpersonal dynamics and relational mechanisms, through the lenses of neuroassessment procedures; and to promote better emotional regulation and stress reduction through neuroempowerment protocols aimed at the reduction of technostress at the physiological level.

The Role of Exercise in Stress Management
Regular physical activity is essential for reducing stress and promoting cardiovascular health. Exercise strengthens the heart, enhances blood flow, keeps blood vessels flexible, and helps lower blood pressure, all of which reduce the body's stress response. Research shows that adults who exercise regularly have nearly half the...
