Stress signals ListBuild your own list of stress signals to block, and avoid unnecessary stress by learning to transform and eliminate it entirely.

Have you ever wondered why there is stress?
Surely each one of us, at least once in their life, finding themselves in situations that have created stress or anxiety, will have wondered why we become stressed, or even why there is stress, which believe it or shoots it.

Dr. Hans Selye, the father of stress research, said that stress is what gives “flavor to life” though it may seem odd to think this is something that we often too “salty” or “hot” to consider “tasty”. However Dr. Selye not only justified his statement by explaining that stress is a physiological response necessary and indispensable for our body but also making clear that a normal level of this is desirable and not desirable because it allows us to thrive and develop: without it we would still be the level of development of cave men.

After smoking, a high-fat diet is the second most lethal habit. According to a report in the Journal of the American Medical Association, smoking causes 400,000 deaths a year. High-fat diet causes 300,000. Several more highly publicized social evils are comparatively small problems: alcohol (100,000 deaths), guns (35,000), auto accidents (25,000), and drug abuse (20,000). These statistics in no way minimize the tragedies of alcoholism, murder, or drug addiction. But they provide perspective on what’s really killing us. Few people cringe when Aunt Mary serves up large slices of banana cream pie a la mode, but from a public health perspective, she might as well be offering heroin.
