In Clinical Physical Diagnosis class, Dr. Thom lectured on neurological
disorders. When he covered Alzheimer's Disease he told us that
nearly all patients with Alzheimer's Disease no longer have any
health problems, that they previously suffered from.
They reach a state of dementia and just exist- basic survival
mechanisms intact, no more stress.
It is so often overlooked how stress impacts our lives, not
only our emotions and behavior but our physical health as well.
Living in a society that takes care of business first and our own
well-being second, chronic diseases have become an epidemic.
No time for yoga, running, meditation? Stress management
can be as easy as monitoring and changing your self
talk. Researchers have found that positive self talk and optimism
have many health benefits, including an increased life span.
