Health Tip: Stress Can Make You Clumsy

(HealthDayNews) -- Are you a klutz who''s constantly banging into tables, knocking over glasses or tripping over chair legs?

According to Toronto''s Sunnybrook and Women''s College Health Science Center, stress and a killer schedule may be to blame. If you''re uptight, your muscles tense up and lead to clumsy movements.

Here''s what you can do to loosen up:

• Make a daily "to do" list. If it seems too full, cross off some items.
• Practice deep breathing or yoga stretches to help slow you down.
• Forget multitasking. Finish your snack, for example, before you drive or talk on your cell phone.
