Stress-busting: Leading a Healthier Life Through Knowledge

Over millennia the nervous system has evolved to respond to threats, challenges, and dangers in the environment to ensure survival. We are programmed to react to situations in a way to avoid harm to our existence. This is great, however, these automatic reactions can over time do damage to our body.

Repeated and continued response to stress causes wear and tear injuries. With time there will be a failure of the body to function efficiently. Eventually, full-blown disease will occur.

I believe it is important to understand a process before you can attempt to do anything to change it.
