It is not work that kills people, it is worry. Stress related illnesses.

In want to explain the quotation “It’s not work that kills people, it’s worry” by another quotation “The reason why worry kills more people than work is that more people worry than work”.

As far as stress related illnesses are concerned, scientists don't understand the exact mechanism, but they do know that stress prevents the immune system from functioning properly. Stress may cause short-term or long-term damage to the immune system and result in sickness. Stress can cause such a disease as heart one.

Experts don't totally understand how stress causes heart disease. What they do agree on, however, is that stress and heart disease are somehow linked. Chronic stress may affect the heart by keeping heart rate elevated at high levels over a long period of time. Blood pressure tends to increase during stressful episodes and may result in heart disease after a prolonged period of time. For those who have a family history of heart disease or have been told that they have heart disease, it is important to find ways to reduce stress to avoid further complications.

As far as mental health diseases are concerned depression and anorexia are both viewed as treatable diseases that are linked to stress and the body's ability to manage it successfully. Increased anxiety over time can cause depression to worsen. Anorexia is also viewed as a disease that is strongly linked to stress. Girls with anorexia tend to manage stress by controlling their eating habits in destructive ways. Controlling stress in healthy ways can alleviate both diseases in conjunction with medication and therapy.

You should understand what stresses you. It may seem that there’s nothing you can do about your stress level. But you have a lot more control than you might think. In fact, the simple realization that you’re in control of your life is the foundation of stress management.We all have an image of what our ideal world should be like. Our ideal or desired world represents a potentiality. Our existing world, our reality reflects an actuality. The difference between the two represents is naturally a potential stress.

So how do we overcome this stress? There are two conventional ways, both of which are based on reducing the gap between our potential and actual worlds.

  1. Reduce our expectations and desires, so that our potential world approaches and more realistically resembles our actual world.
  2. Increase our activities and focus, so that our actual world approaches and more closely reflects our potential world.

Managing stress is all about taking charge: taking charge of your thoughts, your emotions, your schedule, your environment, and the way you deal with problems. The ultimate goal is a balanced life, with time for work, relationships, relaxation, and fun. There are some common rules for everyone to cope with stress successfully: to lose weight, to sleep, enjoying life's little luxuries like massage, hydrotherapy, aromatherapy and music which can help to ease some of the symptoms of stress. We should think positive, eat right, avoid negative relationship, organize our life, take up a sport and take vitamins.
