STRESS MANAGEMENT

Stress can be devastating. It lowers our resistance and makes us more vulnerable to illness and disease. Stress victims can become emotional cripples and physiologically old and run down long before their time. Stress can cause a loss of not only health, but also loss of jobs, loss of families, even loss of life.

In a recent survey 89% of respondents described experiencing "high levels of stress".

Stress is very expensive. Let's look at the statistics:

Stress is recognized as the number one killer today. The American Medical Association stated that stress was the cause of 80 to 85 percent of all human illness and disease or at the very least had a detrimental effect on our health.

Every week, 95 million Americans suffer some kind of stress related symptom for which they take medication.

American businesses lose an estimated $200-$300 billion dollars per year to stress related productivity loss and other cost. To put this in perspective, this amount is higher than the total cost related to all strikes and the net profit from all Fortune 500 companies!

The American Institute of Stress in Yonkers, New York, estimates that 90 percent of all visits to doctors are for stress-related disorders. In women, stress has been linked to fatigue, hair loss, bad complexion, insomnia, among others. There's even evidence that it can increase your risk of more serious problems such as high blood pressure and heart disease.
