Don't Stress It!!!!

Stress is a killer. Period. It has a direct impact on our quality of life and can cause us to have tremendous issues with our health. Every inch of your body and every organ in your body can be negatively impacted by stress. We live in a culture that tends to worry about everything. We worry about things within and outside of our control. There are many ways to effectively manage stress, but we usually don't engage in those activities until a doctor had provided us with bad news. Shame on us! Stress hormones can prevent you from losing weight, contribute to mental health issues, and predispose you to diabetes and heart disease. Working out, walking, learning relaxation techniques, and learning to effectively manage things within your control can help you fight against the ills of stress.
