Stress is an everyday part of our lives. There are few, if any, health conditions that are not worsened by stress. We could all use a little help putting together a lifestyle formula for stress management.

We continue to give to others at the sake of ourselves — and our health pays the difference. By 40 years old, too many individuals have tacked on an extra 20–30 pounds. They are fatigued. Stressed. Underappreciated. And, just plain worn out! It doesn’t have to be this way if you just stood up for yourself and made a statement with your health.
It is no mistake that the intestines are the largest immune organ of the body. They are a primary defense between you and the outside world. The balance is tightly regulated, and unfortunately for most Americans, this balance is thrown off-center.
You see what the rich know and what the healthy know is that results come from doing the opposite of the masses. Right now, the “average” American is not a picture of good health. Americans are in substantial debt. Graduating students this year will leave with roughly $24,000 in student loan debt, entering a job market where the only growth for the last decade has been in low-paying service jobs with little to no benefits. Two out of three adults are obese. One out of three kids will be diagnosed with Type II Diabetes. In fact, American kids today could be the first generation ever to not outlive their parents!
