We are all beginning to recognize that health is a balance of many factors—physical and environmental, emotional and mental, lifestyle habits and spiritual beliefs.
Stress plays a key role in this balance. Stress is well known as a contributing factor in a broad range of disorders. In fact, it's estimated that 50 to 80 percent of illnesses have some stress component. Stress is recognized as a risk factor in addictions, obesity, high blood pressure, peptic ulcer , colitis, asthma, insomnia, migraine headaches, lower back pain and many psychological disorders.
