Reducing well known health risk factors like stress, could add years to life expectancy

 

There are several ways that the effects of stress can be reduced, whether it be the the effects of stress from work, life, partners or illness.

Some forms of stress is good for us - if we feel a little worried about our next project, that may spur us on to make it a brilliant one. This type of worry is not the nail-biting, freaking out about it every minute of the day. It is basically about thinking how best to handle something so that it reflects in the best way possible for us. Thinking about it, deciding how it will be done, and once it has been completed, letting it go. Not worrying about it any more.

Stress can only affect us adversely if we do not have strategies on how to deal with it effectively.
