Life is full of stress, and in todays economic environment it comes in many forms. Stress can be just as much a danger to your health as poor dieting or lack of exercise. Although not all stress is bad, if not addressed properly it can reek havoc on a persons body. Not to stress you out but did you know that chronic stress has been linked to headaches, increased susceptibility to colds, depression, hair loss, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, sexual dysfunction, ulcers, insomnia, and a number of other things. This is a topic that had not been given much though about to put in our blog, but every member of our family is dealing with things that cause this kind of stress.
People deal with stress in different ways. Some keep themselves busy to avoid it as long as they can, others try to release it through meditation. I, T.J., have found that outdoor activities and exercise have helped me manage my stress. As our family makes these changes to live a healthier lifestyle, we hope to find ways to reduce and release stress to avoid its problems. One of the family members will be assigned to write a future article about ways to handle stress. Let us know what works for you.
