Understanding the Stress/Health Connection
During stressful times, your body produces various chemicals, including cortisol, an immune-suppressing hormone. The more cortisol produced, the weaker your immune cells become and the more susceptible you are to illness.
The Power of Meditation
Meditation allows you to become more awake and more deliberate about your actions. It teaches you how to respond rather than react to situations in your life.
Sidetrack Your Stress
No matter the source of your stress, it can produce physical, mental, and emotional symptoms that can affect any part of the body.
