On this podcast, we talk a lot about stress and how it is quietly and slowly, killing you. There’s a great book I was reading called “The Stress Solution”, by Rangan Chatterjee. In today’s podcast, I’ll discuss the book, and how our bodies are experiencing daily micro-stress-doses which are affecting our mental and physical health. It’s not secret that stress is going to send you to an early grave, however it’s important to learn why we react the way we do to certain things in life so we can stop ourselves before reacting. Experience stress was actually a natural response to save yourself from a predator many years ago when we were cavemen/women. Our adrenaline would pump, our blood would flow faster, so we could take fight or flight – run from a predator, or be prepared to fight it. Unfortunately, with all of the daily routines we have that stress us out, we are experiencing stress multiple times every day instead of just once a month. The cumulative effect of constantly reacting as though a predator is chasing you is the equivalent to the predator actually killing you.
