Overcome Stress, Tackle High Blood Pressure

The challenges of modern living are often claimed to be the cause of stress related illness.

The BBC recently ran a feature - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/5132210.stm about the relationship between stress and high blood pressure.

Now as I understand it stress itself doesn't cause high blood pressure but often its the lifestyle associated with stress that can have an adverse effect on the bodies health. Fags and Booze are obvious elements of a less than healthy lifestyle - including rasing blood pressure but reading this article - http://www.execo.co.uk/blood_pressure.htm hightlights that busy executives may pay little attention to their diets and regularly opt for comfort, convinient food - usually jam packed with sugar and salt - salt and its effect on blood pressure as we should all know is terrible.

Simple steps to reduce stress and therby reduce the risk of poor lifestyle habits - take five minutes - do nothing, enjoy real food - chew slowly and appreciate the grub, LAUGH - a lot.
