A New Approach to Banish Stress

If you have ever been really stressed out, you know how hard it is to regain control over your emotions and state of mind. It feels as though things begin to spin out of control and take over your life, leaving you with obsessive thoughts, worry, frustration, anxiety, and depression. You feel tired but tense, and you can’t relax. Your muscles ache and your immune system seems switched to “off,” leaving you vulnerable to every flu bug and cold going around. But stress also has long-term consequences. Unless stress is controlled, your risk of developing a serious disease such as high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, diabetes, asthma, and arthritis greatly increases. Stress is not just a normal part of life. Now, researchers have uncovered an exciting new approach to treating stress that may help bring relief and improve your quality of life.
