Stress causes our system to collapse

When we're under too much stress our system may collapse.

Now sometimes this collapse is dramatic. A heart attack is an example of that. Or your stress related health problems may develop slowly over time and then, boom, the big one. A little inflammation here, a little immune dysfunction there. Or perhaps some overweight creeps up or you lose your energy and feel depressed, hyper-vigilant and not be able to sleep.

What happens as time goes on? It gets worse!

It's not hard to understand because it makes sense.

What you need to master stress is a long-term plan. An aspirin and a valium today and a Prozac and a Lipitor tomorrow are not the best answer, even though some doctors follow that type of philosophy in their mode of practice.

So what's the magic bullet, then?

Well I don't think there is a magic bullet but there is a critically important formula and you know what it is.

Eat well, take your supplements, get enough exercise, sleep and rest and relax to soothe and calm your nerves and brain.
