You don't realize it yet, but in the next few minutes you're going to learn
why unmanaged stress more deadly than a heart attack.

Actually, a sudden and deadly heart attack is  an easier way to die.

I'll prove it to you.

Let's look at the facts....

Scientist have been studying people with stress for a very long time.

They've been looking for the link between mental and emotional attitudes,
physiological health and long-term well-being.

The results of the research are astonishing! 

Read these facts carefully.   

Three 10-year studies concluded that emotional stress was more predictive
of death from cancer and cardiovascular disease than smoking... people who
were unable to effectively manage their stress had a 40% higher death rate
than non-stressed individuals. H. Eysenck, Br J Med Psychol, 1988; 61(Pt1)

Can you believe that?...emotional stress more predicitve of death from cancer
and cardiovascular disease than smoking!

Want more proof?

According to a Mayo Clinic study of individuals with heart disease,
psychological stress was the strongest predictor of future cardiac events,
such as cardiac death, cardiac arrest and heart attacks. T.Allison et al.
Mayo Clin Proc. 1995; 70(8)

A 3-year analysis of over 46,000 workers from six major U.S.
companies, depression and unmanaged stress emerged as the top two most
costly risk factors in terms of medical expenditures-increasing health
care costs by 2 to 7 times as much as physical risk factors such as smoking,
obesity, and poor exercise habits. R. Goetzel et al, J Occup Eviron Med, 1988; 40(10)

Stop! and think about that for a minute....you could be an obese smoker.. who never
exercised..and your risk factors would still be lower than someone with unmanged
stress or depression.

Amazing!

Now, for another harsh reality...

Job stress costs employers more than $200 billion each year in absenteeism,
tardiness, burnout, lower productivity, higher turnover, worker’s compensation
and insurance costs. National Safety Council, 1995

Depression costs the U.S. $44 billion per year in lost productivity.
National Foundation for Brain Research, 1999

Do you own a business? Have you ever wondered why health insurance for you and
your employees is so expensive?

Ready for the good news....and a shift in your....perspective?

 An international study of 2,829 people between the ages of 55 and 85 found
that individuals who reported the highest level of personal “mastery”-feelings
of control over life events-had a nearly 60% lower risk of death compared
with those who felt relatively helpless in the face of challenges.
B. Penninx et al. Am J Epidemiol.1997; 146(6)

In a study of 5,716 middle-aged people, those with the highest self-regulation
abilities were over 50 times more likely to be alive and without chronic
disease 15 years later than those with the lowest self-regulation scores.
R.Grossarth-Maticek & H. Eysenck, Person Individ Diff. 1995; 19(6)

Now, let me ask you a personal question...

Do you understand why a sudden deadly heart attack is an easier way to die
than living with unmanaged stress?

Stop and ask your self this question...
Is long term chronic stress silently robbing me of my health and your dreams?
 
Consider this my friendly wake-up call to you.
