Worry

A great percentage of our illnesses is in some way related to worry and anxiety and stress. In fact, the #1 killer in America is heart disease.

• 38% of all deaths are heart related and many of those are related to hypertension, high blood pressure and anxiety.

• Worry has been linked to cancer, lung ailments, accidents, cirrhosis, gastrointestinal illness and suicide.

• 3/4 of all visits to primary care physicians are stress-related complaints or disorders.

Question- If we know that worry is a killer- then why do we do it?
