Stress: is an everyday fact of modern life that can lead to health problems if not taken care of:

"The body responds to stress by eliciting the 'fight or flight' response, leading to an increased secretion of stress hormones, adrenaline and steroids such as cortisol. These hormones can produce many of the following physiological reactions. When our skeletal muscles begin to contract, metabolism speeds up. Blood pressure, heart and breathing rates increase. The digestive system begins to shut down, the pupils start to dilate, the urge to urinate and have a bowel movement increases and arteries to the arms and legs constrict. All these reactions help prepare the body to fight, or, to run away from danger. This was important for primitive man to survive in the face of danger.

Today, however, this fight or flight response may occur many times a day, caused by traffic jams, deadlines, finances, family problems, unpleasant relationships, etc. All these result in cardiovascular diseases and a weak immune system that leaves the individual susceptible to degenerative and infective diseases.

To reduce and combat stress, you have to be willing to change your mindset. Many services, products and opportunities are available today for just that.
Alternative medicine offers many beneficial strategies for reducing stress and its effects. Acupuncture, biofeedback, meditation, guided imagery and lifestyle counselling, as well as diet, exercise and nutritional programmes are highly recommended. "
