Stress is very expensive and dangerous.
Just glance through these facts:
Stress is recognized as the number one killer today. The American Medical
Association notes that stress was the cause, directly and indirectly, of
more than 60 percent of all human illness and disease .
American businesses lose an estimated
$200-$300 billion dollars per year to stress related productivity loss and
the
treatment costs.
Every week, 95 million Americans suffer some
kind of stress related symptoms for which they take medication.
The American Institute of Stress in Yonkers,
New York, estimates that approximately 60-90 percent of all visits to
doctors are for stress-related disorders.
Stress speeds up the ageing process and
produces conditions in younger people that are more commonly associated with
growing old. Virtually no part of your body can escape the ravages of
stress.
AlI these and thousands of other studies point
to the huge negative impact stress has on individuals and the society as a
whole. The implications are too real and harsh to be ignored! It becomes
imperative on our part to take positive and effective steps to tackle this
silent killer TODAY!
How do We Handle The Stress Problem?
Realizing the importance of
spreading the message of stress management in the community, Dr.Hanish Babu has conducted
hundreds of free stress management seminars since 1987 and given talks in
many gatherings and radio talks, written multitude of articles on the
subject in journals and magazines.
Many of the participants in Dr.Babu's
stress management seminars and his friends had been asking him to release
his highly effective
stress management program as a package on the net. Though he had maintained a web page on
stress management since 1997, the daily practice audio companion was not
available till now. Without it, the program was only 50% effective. Now the
essence of this
stress management
program with all the essential tools required to control your stress at
home, workplace and society is presented for your benefit on these less
stress pages.
