Stress (TMD)

Back to The Maker's Diet book. Chapter 9 talks about Stress.

Emotional stress causes or worsens the following health problems:
     Digestive system disorders
     Circulatory system disorders
     Genito-urinary system disorders
     Nervous system disorders
     Glandular disorders
     Allergies and immune system disorders
     Inflammation of muscles and joints
     Infections
     Inflammatory and skin diseases
     Cancer

Now...I probably take on about 6 of these...not good. It makes complete sense though. It is very depressing. Everyone takes on stress in different ways. My body, especially my digestive system, takes on stress even when I don't think that I am stressed. 

He talks about removing your negative thinking. Great advice! Right now I have a bad cold and if you keep telling yourself that you feel awful and don't feel like you are getting better, then you will probably stay that way...but today I told myself - I feel great - I am going to get better and I did feel better and I changed my way of thinking. You can do this with any kind of situation. I am going to try my best to have the most positive way of thinking in any situation.

"Laughter, happiness and joy are the perfect antidotes for stress."
