This blog discusses another way that unrelieved stress can hurt your body. 

In the last blog, we talked about how stress will cause the heart to beat faster, which causes increased blood pressure.  The continued pounding blood pressure will start to cause minor tears in the muscular walls of the arteries. 

As this happens, the body seals the tear by creating a cholesterol plug.  This can build up to create hardening of the arteries, which is what arteriosclerosis is.  This can also lead to possible heart attack or stroke.

Dr. Peter Hanson, in his book, “The Joys of Stress” said: “Cholesterol can increase by 40% within seconds from fear.”

Makes you want to start using ways to reduce your stress levels before reaching the stage where you have a heart attack or stroke, doesn’t it? 

The best way that I know to reduce stress is EFT.  If you want to know more about EFT, I invite you to visit my website at www.SherylStanton.com.
