Can Stress Really Kill You?

"Three 10-year studies concluded that emotional stress was more predictive of death from cancer and cardiovascular disease than smoking; people who were unable to effectively manage their stress had a 40% higher death rate than more emotionally managed individuals."

(H. Eyesenck. Br. J. Med. Psychol., 1998)

In later posts we'll look at what stress does to the digestive, immune, nervous and hormonal systems. 

In the meantime, stay calm!
