A Lifestyle Formula for Stress Management

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.

Be Selfish When it Comes to Health

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.

Food and the Body’s Melody

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.

Are You Watching Your Health Fall with the Economy?

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!

Pain as an Emotional Experience — A Holistic View

Most peo­ple asso­ciate pain with a phys­i­cal prob­lem. Burn your­self or step on a nail and ouch! — it’s going to hurt. What peo­ple often over­look is the emo­tion and psy­chol­ogy behind pain and how sim­ple reas­sur­ance about one’s con­di­tion or injury can go a long way to speed­ing recovery.
