Let’s face it; if you are a human, participating in life on this earth, you are going to have to deal with stress and a lot of it.

We are built to deal with a certain amount of stress, but these days it has gotten out of hand. We are bombarded with stressful experiences, expectations, jobs…even when we aren’t in personally in a state of stress; we are met with the stress of the world at large; the economy, murder, unemployment rates, health care issues, abducted children…

Combine all of this with longer work hours, lack of sleep, driving in traffic, juggling family and work etc. etc. etc.

WOW…that’s a lot of stress!

The problem has become that we accept it as a way of life, so we aren’t really doing anything about it.

No, let me rephrase that…

We may be doing things to try to manage our stress, BUT we aren’t doing anything to change the cause of the stress. And what you absolutely NEED TO KNOW about the effects of stress on your health, is that your life is in danger.

I’m not kidding…I know it seems severe, and if you have just started experiencing stress you are probably thinking, “Ah, I’m ok, I can handle this.”

Sure…you can handle it…

My car can handle driving with its wheels out of alignment too…

But over time the stress on the tires will cause them to wear down and blow out…I bet you would agree with me on that without the slightest hesitation.

How are we any different?

Why are we religious about getting our cars serviced on a regular basis but we put off taking care of ourselves?

Here’s what I promise you…

If you burn out and get sick, it’s not going to matter how well your car runs!

The effects of stress on your health and body over time can be absolutely devastating.

The effects of stress on your health on your life can take away everything you have ever worked for and achieved.

The effects of stress on your mind can be completely altering.

There are things we can do to minimize the stress in our lives and there are also many things we can do to manage the stress that is a part of life no matter what.

The first step is deciding you are ready to stop accepting that all of this stress has to be there and to commit to changing some things and managing where things can’t be changed.

Don’t you think it’s time to take inspired action to minimize and manage the effects of stress on your health?

Next post we’ll talk about some great things you can do right now to do just that…

Everyone is panicking…you can’t turn on the news, pick up a newspaper or even stop by your local coffee shop without the words Swine Flu being thrown at you.

People are buzzing, the media is buzzing and everyone is talking about it and asking questions…

Where are the most recent Swine Flu Cases?

What schools are closed do to Swine Flu?

Did you hear the number of US Swine Flu Cases doubled overnight?

Swine Flu, Swine Flu, SWINE FLU!!

Everyone is talking about it, but who’s talking about how to cure Swine Flu?

When it comes to the conversation of how to cure Swine Flu, the conversation gets much quieter and people become a bit stumped.

Check Google and you’ll see that millions of people are searching “Swine Flu” while only a little over 4000 people are searching “Swine Flu Cures” or “Cure Swine Flu”.

I think this needs to be addressed…

Even though you are still more likely to get hit by a car than contract Swine Flu there are a few natural things you can do to at least help prevent Swine Flu. Even if these steps won’t Cure Swine Flu they will, at the least help protect you from it.

I’m not talking about drugs and immunizations (especially with the high level of scams showing up all over the place with bogus immunizations and drugs etc.)

I do want to note that as of now Tamiflu and Relenza are the 2 drugs approved by the FDA for the treatment of the H1N1 Influenza Virus. (Both of these drugs may have significant side effects and should be researched before treatment.)

What I’m talking about are simple and natural steps you can take right now…as I said, these steps may not be able to Cure Swine Flu but they can certainly help when it comes to prevention. They seem like common sense, but you’d be amazed how many people are so busy finding out where Swine Flu has spread that they aren’t focusing on the basics:

1. Eat Garlic
2. Wash your hands, Wash your hands, Wash your hands!
3. Eat a diet high in Raw Vegetables

Be diligent about how you treat and strengthen your body and your immune system and be mindful of washing your hands often, especially after human contact, and you will be well on your way to the prevention if not cure of swine flu.
