MESICS Stress
Facts
If You Suffer From Ongoing Stress
Understanding the Risks Could Save Your Life |
At one time or another we've all felt the unpleasant
effects of stress:
- Your stomach is constantly in knots.
- Your muscles are sore and tense.
- You feel dog-tired a lot of the time.
- You have that "red in the face" feeling from high
blood pressure.
- Most days you feel low and unhappy.
- When you try to think of a solution or a way out,
you go blank.
These feelings are typical and quite normal. |
| "[Stress is]
taking a terrible toll on the nation's health and
economy. It is a heavy contributor to heart disease,
cancer, respiratory distress, lupus and many other
life threatening illnesses." |
Dr. Paul Rosch
Medical Scientist
and Stress Expert |
|
But over time, stress can do tremendous damage to your
health and general sense of well being.
How Stress is Killing People Just Like You
When your body is under stress, your cells actually
change shape and become unhealthy. In turn, the delicate
tissues in your body become more susceptible to free
radical damage—the process that causes aging.
Sickness and disease now have an "easy way in."
It's a dangerous cycle that leaves you vulnerable
to countless health problems.
Living with constant stress will literally wear
your body out. Stress hormones will weaken its ability
to fight or prevent serious diseases—including
cancer, heart disease, diabetes and autoimmune diseases
like rheumatoid arthritis. Not to mention making you
more prone to colds, infections and other distressing
illnesses.

| "[Stress hormones]
can badly upset the biochemical balances in our
body. That can impair our immune system and leave
us open to invasions of cancer cells and dangerous
infections." |
Dr. Bruce McEwen
Former Director
Rockefeller University's Neuroendocrine Laboratory |

It's true. Stress kills.
According to the American Medical Association, stress
is a factor in more than 75% of sickness today.
And according to the World Health Organization, stress
is America's #1 Health Problem.
And as a nation, we're not very healthy. In 2001
alone heart disease killed an estimated 700,142 people
(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). The
American Cancer Society Inc. reports an estimated
1.4 million new cases of cancer in 2005, with 570,280
people dying of cancer that same year.
You can be sure that stress weakened the health protecting
defenses of these unfortunate people.
The Emotional Costs of Stress
Stress not only wears your body down physically,
it also threatens your mental well being. The Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention states that the
most frequently prescribed class of prescription drug
from a physician office visit is antidepressants.
But the fact is that stress hormones trigger depression.
These "stress facts" are shocking. But you don't
have to be a statistic when you understand exactly
how to stop stress from ruining your health and quality
of life.
