Stress: The silent killer

MANILA, Philippines -  Stress affects every facet of a person’s life.  It saps your energy so you aren’t able to maximize your day, it makes you irritable, thereby endangering your treasured relationships, and it makes you feel and look far older than your actual biological age.  Worse, if stress isn’t handled well, it causes different kinds of illnesses such as headaches, high blood pressure, heart problems, skin conditions, asthma, arthritis, diabetes, and the list goes on. 

Is stress a silent killer?  Are you at risk of high blood pressure, contracting heart problems, suffering from diabetes or having to live with arthritis?  Perhaps you’ve already been diagnosed with one or more of the said conditions.  While stressful situations cannot be totally avoided, it is all about knowing how to handle stress well.

While a positive disposition and learning how to prioritize your activities will definitely help, another way to manage stress is by giving your body the nutritional support it needs to stay strong and resistant.
