As much as 80 percent of all illnesses are caused by stress, and most visits to a medical doctor are prompted by stress-related factors including: work environment, diet, exercise and the misuse of tobacco, drugs, and alcohol. Stress impairs the functioning of our immune system, inhibits the restorative process of healing, and accelerates the effects of aging. All of which makes us more susceptible to illness. Relaxation gives the body a chance to unwind, renew and heal.
