Stress

imageStress is your body’s reaction to change.  It’s your natural instinct to defend yourself in an emergency.  Not all stress is bad, but stress can be harmful to your body if it goes on for too long or occurs too frequently.  Too much stress can make you feel angry or nervous.  It can make it hard for you to sleep.  It can give you all sorts of aches and pains. It can lead to bad habits like overeating or substance abuse. Worst of all, stress can increase your risk of obesity, insomnia, digestive complaints, heart disease, and depression.
