Stress and Your Health
November 9th 2010 -
Our daily lives are stressful. That's for sure and that's probably an understatement for most people. Stress can put a huge toll on our health – both physically and emotionally.
According to the 2010 Stress in America – a new study released by the American Psychological Association – many Americans are caught in the cycle of unhealthy attempts to manage their high levels of stress. Thus put a limit to their ability to make behavioral or lifestyle changes that will benefit their over-all health.
2010 Stress in America emphasizes that the impact of long-term (chronic) stress can leave serious physical and emotional consequences for individuals and their families.
Also, according to a 2010 Harris Interactive survey, many people (especially those who believe they are in fair or poor health) claim to lack the willpower and opportunity to make useful changes that would improve their lives. On the other hand, parents seem to be unaware of the effects that their stress is having on their children.
Alarming too is the fact that many young children are reporting that emotional and health status have suffered due to stress!

It’s critical that parents communicate with their children about how to identify stress triggers and manage stress in healthy ways while they’re young and still developing behavioral patterns. If children don’t learn these lessons early on, it could significantly impact their physical health and emotional well-being down the road, especially as they become adults.
