Stress

I speak a lot about inflammation and the reason I do, is because inflammation is responsible for at least 60% of deaths from chronic disease. There are some videos below and information that is hopefully helpful.

When you’re stressed, watching videos can be confusing and overwhelming.

Start with one video – watch for 2 minutes and pause the video or even stop.

Go and Do something else and then you can return and start over or continue.

You may find it takes weeks or even months to get through some of these videos.

If you don’t feel like reading – pick a video – if it doesn’t speak to you – try the next one below and just keep exploring until you find a video that seems to be a good one for you

Everybody responds different to this stress of inflammation. If the inflammation lasts for a long time, in other words it is chronic inflammation, it causes diseases. 3 out of 5 people will die from chronic inflammation because it causes diseases like heart disease, stroke, diabetes, arthritis, allergic reactions.
