Webster's definition of stress is: : Stress is the body's reaction to a change that requires a physical, mental or emotional adjustment or response.
My wife had 3 brain surgeries for a brain tumor. Her neurosurgeon was a very knowledgeable neurologist doctor. He was summoned in 1964 to the assignation of President John F Kennedy in Dallas, Texas.
After her second surgery I asked Doctor Hayne if “Stress” could cause a brain tumor. He turned to me and looked me straight in the eyes and said. “ Stress can cause almost any disease”  He then continued to say that I would be very wise to  eliminate as much Stress in the rest of my life as possible.

Stress is an emotional and physical response to pressures from the world around you. Today, stress seems more pervasive and persistent. Numerous studies show between 75 - 95% of all visits to primary care physicians are due to stress related issues.

Most of us are coping with a great deal of stress and need to learn how to relieve and/or deal with stress in everyday life.
