You: Stress Less

Health threats come to us in all kinds of forms—cigarettes, doughnuts, snake venom. One of the biggest threats to all of us— stress —is also one of the most mysterious. This condensed book offers a 360-degree perspective on everything you need to know—the basic science, how it influences everything from your appearance to your longevity, even how diet can help regulate it. In YOU: Stress Less, the YOU docs distill their most important advice and tips about handling stress in one, portable little book. They’ll talk about the stress circuit—and how a series of hormonal events can put you at greater risk of health issues, such as heart attacks, obesity, and cancer. You’ll learn about why stress can sometimes be good for you, and how to work it in your favor. And they’ll show you how the foods you crave the most (mmmm carbs!) can put you into an even bigger stress cycle. Packed with meditation techniques, food recommendations, and lifestyle evaluation tools, this paperback is the essential guide on how to reduce stress and improve your life.
