Keep Stress Under Control
Ongoing stress can increase your risk of many health problems, including heart disease, obesity, depression, and diabetes.
Everyone experiences stress from time to time, but if you feel constant stress and experience physical symptoms (such as headaches, back or neck pain, difficulty sleeping), it’s probably time to take action.
