STRESS ISN’T CHEAP! As humans, especially in the U.S. we don’t always live in balance. We condone hard work and we’re good at it. But after awhile, our bodies just can’t keep up. And if we don’t stop, our bodies will. Stress in recognized as the number one killer today. The American Medical Association states that stress is related to 85 % of all illnesses and diseases. Every week. 95 million Amer
icans suffer some kind of stress related symptom for which they take medication. Most Americans struggle to find balance in this busy, hurried world, with increased expectations and demands. We get overwhelmed, overloaded and our bodies and minds just can’t keep up. What can you do? Well, it’s time to wake up and pay attention. Your body is trying to tell you something…if you stop long enough to listen…and then take some action. Loran J.
