Stress relief should form an important part of your daily lifestyle.

Stress can trigger symptoms, increase their severity or frequency, and lengthen the time you suffer with them.

Stress can also compromise recovery.

Stress Management is the ability to maintain control when situations, people, and events make excessive demands.  Stress management is a collection of skills, tools, and techniques that help you reduce, manage, and even counteract the negative side-effects of stress.   The art of stress management is to keep you at a level of stimulation that is healthy and enjoyable and to bring your mind and body back into balance.  
Stress is a word for emotional strain — the anxiety, sadness, anger and frustration that come with everyday life. If you are under a lot of stress for a prolonged period of time, but do not feel stressed, eventually it may catch up with you and cause more serious symptoms, such as; stomach ulcers, heart problems, allergies, skin disorders, migraine. Stress can also cause more serious illnesses such as; arthritis, cancer, diabetes, depression.

NEW YORK JUL 08, 2008 (Reuters Health) - Significant changes in muscle, fat and bone mass occur in the months after maximal androgen blockade for prostate cancer, according to a report in the July issue of BJU International.
"We weren't surprised at the changes per se," Dr. Nigel A. Spry from the University of Western Australia, Crawley, told Reuters Health. "However, the relative sparing of muscle in the leg supported one of our hypotheses, that exercise, even in the testosterone-depleted male, could reduce the negative consequences of androgen suppression."
Dr. Spry and colleagues examined alterations in whole-body and regional bone, lean, and fat mass in 72 men receiving intermittent androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer.
Whole-body lean mass and bone mass decreased significantly after treatment, the researchers report, whereas fat mass increased.
Resistance training, they suggest, might be a good way to preserve body composition

New Pill Can Boost or Kill Your Sex Drive.

You haven’t consciously expected the signs of aging, but they’re finally here.

Viagra has been prescribed to 200,000 men in the first four weeks it has been on sale in the US

Doctors in the United States are warning that the new pill used to treat sexual impotence in men could break up marriages rather than giving them a boost.

In their fourth week on the American market, the little blue pills called Viagra have led to the sale of more than 200,000 new prescriptions.

Doctors report that patients grabbing the chance to boost their wilting libidos have rejoiced in second honeymoons.

Spectre of the Viagra widows

But some warn older women may not be able to keep up with the sexual demands of their newly-reinvigorated husbands.

Miami doctor Carlos Nazir said: "I guess we will be using a new term in the future, you know - the Viagra widows.

"This is going to happen to the woman - her husband is on Viagra and she's not keeping up with him with the sexual interest or the sexual frequency."
