Everyday stress affects
many aspects of your life
Stress
plays a major factor in your health, resistance to
illness, productivity and well being.
The more stress in your life the greater the chance
your health will suffer. Based on scientific research,
physicians are increasingly recognizing the key role
played by stress in many of the patients they see.
We also recognize that many medical conditions can
affect your emotional state. Serious or chronic physical
illness often makes people anxious and depressed.
Since these mood states negatively affect physical
health, a vicious cycle can develop. |
