The
Impact of Stress
Studies have shown time and time
again, that stress is
America's #1 Health Problem.
Consider these startling statistics
from the American Institute of Stress.
| 1. |
43%
of all adults suffer adverse health effects due to stress. |
| 2. |
75-90%
of all visits to primary care physicians are for stress-related
complaint or disorders. |
| 3. |
Stress
has been linked to all the leading causes of death, including
heart disease, cancer, lung ailments, accidents, cirrhosis, and
suicide. |
| 4. |
An
estimated 1 million workers were absent on an average workday
because of stress-related complaints. Stress is said to be
responsible for more than half of the 550,000,000 workdays lost
annually because of absenteeism. |
| 5. |
A
three-year study conducted by a large corporation showed that
60% of employee absences were due to psychological problems such
as stress. |
| 6. |
Nearly
half of all American workers suffer from symptoms of burnout, a
disabling reaction to stress on the job.

It's time to rethink
what it means
to really live!
