Hypertension
is the proverbial silent killer
You can
have hypertension and not know it
It can cause stroke, cardiovascular disease and a host of other problems
Stress can be silent or not so silent
People usually know when they are stressed
Stress eventually will make itself known
Stress is a response to pressure or threat
With stress we may feel tense, nervous, or on edge
The stress response is physical, too
There is a surge of a hormone called adrenaline
That temporarily affects the nervous system
This amorphous and nebulous disease process
Attacks every human being at one point or another
The American Psychological Association has found that
About 25% of Americans are experiencing high levels of stress
Another 50% report moderate levels of stress
Stress comes from living in a pressurized world
Relax, exercise, eat well, have moments of doing nothing
Clean out the mind and brain, get good sleep, have a glass of wine regularly
Go out on the town; focus on the “other” for a moment
Listen to music, read, be grateful, love more, stop being over materialistic
Love others
Love
YOURSELF
