Unchecked stress hormones affect our body in a manner similar to an unhealthy eating style. They stimulate the production of triglycerides and LDL (the ‘bad cholesterol’), they interfere with blood pressure regulation, and they fuel inflammation at the sites where blood vessels have been damaged. Constant stress, even at low levels, harms our blood vessels in the same way that a poor diet will, and may contribute to heart disease. Heart disease is a chronic illness that drains a person’s good health and his bank account. David Katz, author of “Disease Proof”, says that it takes from life “vitality, capacity, and the pleasure of living.”
