What do insomnia, depression, obesity, headaches, fatigue, high blood pressure, indigestion, and low immunity all have in common? STRESS! Yes, stress causes a myriad of chemical, emotional, and structural changes within the body. About 75% of health issues seen by doctors have come from the effects of stress.
Although stress results in all these health problems, stress is normal and ordinary for life. All need to encounter stress to live and thrive, but the body needs to respond to it properly and then relax and heal. When the body is unable to deal with stress for various reasons, we become susceptible to many forms of dis-ease.
For additional information on stress, read the following articles from the Mayo Clinic and the National Institute of Health.
