Do you let Stress get to you?

A long term study done at Penn State University reveals that how you react to stress could determine your likelihood of developing chronic health problems!


How people react to stress determines how that stress will affect their health. Study volunteers were separated in two groups: 1) those who let their troubles affect their emotional state and 2) those who didn't let stress bother them at all.

At a 10-year follow up, those who let stress affect them (group 1) were more likely to suffer from chronic health problems.
