Stress is detrimental to your health and causes hyperactivity of your adrenal glands. These spikes of adrenaline are designed to quickly supply oxygen and energy in an emergency situation, but over a longer period of time, excess adrenaline can lead to problems such as ulcers, high blood pressure, and loss of appetite. Constant stress can also lead to headaches, depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, adult-onset diabetes, and digestive ailments. Stress can upset your immune system, lower your resistance to disease, and reduce your memory. Meditation and relaxation have a powerful effect on reducing the intensity and impact of stress on your body and mind. Practicing meditations like the one that follows can help you to conquer the daily stresses of modern life.
