Health is a biological equilibrium that exists within our bodies.  A person with a disturbed mind and soul cannot possess a healthy body. Health is a reflection of physical, mental, spiritual, and economic well-being. Stress in today’s society is omnipresent. It is the manner in which a person reacts to stress that makes all the difference to health. Those who handle stress in a detached manner are the ones who are least affected by it.  In other words, just `stay cool’ when under stress’.  When you let stress get the better of you it can cause disease.
