Stress and Health

Needless to say that if we can't control our stress and emotions, our overall health will suffer. Our daily lives are loaded with factors that affect our stress and anxiety level. Some are beyond our control. Other factors we can identify and manage.

Unmanaged stress can lead to heart disease and other health problems. This is why we must learn to manage stress as best as we can.

Aside from medications, which I am against, there are natural ways to reduce and control stress and anxiety. Food can play a part. Exercise is another way to reduce stress and other mood problems. A natural supplement that may help with stress and depression is SAMe. I first saw this product on the Dr. Oz Show, and I hear it does help in stressful situations.

Stress is a way of life in today's society. Stressful situations are a norm. The way we manage stressful situations will help or hurt our overall health. While stress has a direct affect on our mood, sleep, immune system, decision making, and so much more, it is also linked to weight gain.
