Stress can hit you from a variety of sources — work, relationships, poor self-image, loneliness, or persistent fear. Stress can also be induced from such events as the death of a loved one, the birth of a child, a change in job, or a change in lifestyle. When your body encounters stress it negatively affects virtually all systems—circulatory, immune, respiratory, digestive, nervous. Newsweek reported, “A whole new body of research shows the damage stress wreaks on the body: not just heart disease and ulcers, but loss of memory, diminished immune function, and even a particular type of obesity. 

 

Stress is our number one health problem. According to the American Medical Association, stress is implicated in 80% of all illness, and stress-related problems account for 90% of our visits to primary-care physicians. Left unchecked, stress is a killer. Stress affects your entire wellbeing at home, in your relationships, and at work.
