Stress comes in many forms. It can be physical, mental or emotional. Sometimes it is hard to differentiate and fully understand what is happening to our bodies. But one thing is for sure it is a major contributor to our health and well-being, and the term "silent killer" is no exaggeration. Stress is now known to contribute to major illnesses such as heart disease, cancer, thyroid dysfunction to name but a few, as well as having a detrimental effect on the body's immune system.

It is time to sit up, take note and reassess your lifestyle and your approach to life.

As somebody who has suffered, more years than I care to admit, from chronic stress, I feel I am qualified to make these comments. My stress was killing me and I wasn't even aware of what it was doing to me. Luckily for me I dealt with it before it started to have any major negative effects on my health. However 15 years on I am still experiencing the effects of my previous lifestyle choices and I am trying to deal with them in every way possible.

I will share some of my insights with you in this blog. In the meantime you need to answer this question honestly.

Is Stress YOUR Silent Killer??
