A stress ball is a small ball designed to help relieve stress by exercising the muscles in the hand. Actually, a stress ball does not necessarily have to be shaped like a ball. 1. The main characteristic is that it can fit easily in a hand, and it is changeable, allowing a user to squeeze it out of shape while providing some resistance to force the muscles of the hand to work.
2. Squeezing a stress ball while imagining a reduction in stress is a frequently-recommended stress management tool for people in demanding jobs. Stress balls are often given away at conferences and other corporate events as promotional tools, reflecting their widespread use.
In addition to this, a stress ball can be useful for physical strain. Physical therapists use a very similar tool to help people flex and stretch the muscles in their hands. Squeezing a stress ball can reduce the amount of strain associated with repetitive tasks like typing. 3. .
A variety of things can be used to fill a stress ball. The filling should be firm, with a bit of give to it, forcing people to work to deform the stress ball. You can make your own basic stress ball by filling a balloon with corn starch（淀粉）. Beans and plastic granules（颗粒） may also be used. 4. .
Using a stress ball doesn’t require any particular instructions or skills. 5. Repeated use of a stress ball can, of course, cause the same problems that other repetitive motions are associated with, but taking breaks from typing and other repetitive tasks to squeeze a stress ball a few times can be beneficial.
A. However, these fillings are less smooth.
B. Also, it can help to develop hand strength.
C. All you need to do is pick the ball and squeeze it.
D. A wide variety of shapes can be found on the market.
E. One of the best handmade gifts for men is a stress ball.
F. Stress balls are supposed to be very useful for mental stress relief.
G. This can be easily cured by keeping something like a stress ball in the hand.
