live longer, feel better, and protect your health

"Is stress hurting your heart? Do you want to live longer, feel better, and protect your health? A stress-proof heart is immune to the physical impact of unrelenting stress. The most insidious and under-addressed risk factor of heart disease is the one many of us find the most difficult to manage--stress. We can't alleviate all stress, and we wouldn't want to even if we could. Some stress is natural and necessary; it is what gives us the zing of energy to get things done. Trouble comes when that zing becomes a constant thrum, continually triggering the stress hormone cortisol to pump into the body rather than allowing it to ebb and flow as we need it. THIS BOOK PROVIDES TOOLS to power a fulfilling life by efficiently processing cortisol out of the body and nurturing a heart resilient enough to withstand high stress, change, crisis--and to bounce back from illness. Through engaging assessments and implementable principles and tools evaluate the phsyical impact of your stress and then offset that impact to protect your heart."--Back cover
