Are you waking up at night worrying about your next day? Relying on caffeine and sugar to make it through the day because you’re too tired to think or function? Do you feel like you catch every cold or virus that passes by?
Stress comes in many forms. Endless to-do lists, financial worries, family demands, and constant multi-tasking are common American habits that add up to mental stress. Unfortunately, many people also deal with insurmountable grief over the loss of a loved one or pet, the emotional and physical demands of caring for an ailing family member, divorce, and unthinkable tragedies.
Stress can also be physical in the form of injuries, illnesses, inflammation, toxin exposure, and certain foods and eating habits.
