If you’ve been listening to my show this week you probably noticed a lot of reference to stress and how it affects our health. February is Heart Month.
The Heart & Stroke Foundation has released this statement.
The Heart and Stroke Foundation’s 2010 Annual Report on Canadians’ Health warns that a “perfect storm” of risk factors and demographic changes are converging to create an unprecedented burden on Canada’s fragmented system of cardiovascular care, and no Canadian – young or old – will be left unaffected.
Talk about jumping right to the point. Maybe it takes the scare factor to get us concerned. I know that a change of diet has improved my health greatly. Thanks Donnie. Sleep is also key to feeling good and reducing stress.
On their website is a great health assesment survey to find your stress levels. Check it out at www.heartandstroke.sk.ca
This blew my mind…..
‘Women living in stressful times give birth to more girls than boys. ‘
When times are tough — during drought or famine, for instance, or even during a more modern-style calamity such as massive layoffs from a large company — stress hormones in a woman’s body have an influence on the sex of her child or children, should she have them at this time: Thanks to evolution, there’s a slightly higher chance she’ll have a girl, since daughters stand a better chance to reproduce during hard times than men do. Recently, UC Berkeley researchers discovered that stress hormones make the uterus slightly more hostile to a male fetus during tough times, and further, that the body will spontaneously abort more boys than girls.
on a different note, check out this photo ……
Found by the Hubble telescope recently. This object is flying at 11,000 miles per hour. Notice how it’s in the shape of an X.
Asteroid or a Klingon warship? or maybe Bill Gates is promoting a new X Box console??
Thanks for coming by
