May 24, 2010

These stresses can manifest themselves in the form of back pain, musculoskeletal problems, headaches, emotional issues and loss of sleep. Over time, these stresses may lead to more serious issues such as heart disease.

Additionally, a healthy diet low on sweets and junk food, regular and moderate exercise, and getting the correct amount of sleep all assist in stress reduction.
