By Dr Peter Lind

A comprehensive approach to stress management is to make sure you deal with each part of stress. There are three major stresses that need your complete attention: physical, nutritional, and emotional. To be complete, each of these causes of stress need to be studied and dealt with.

Physical stress is tearing you down

To reduce stress physically you have to do the most effective exercise with the least risk of symptom, injury, and death. Exercise must improve your strength, your cardiovascular system, your body fat, and bone strength. It must improve your muscle mass and its tone.

Physically, you must:

1. Know the difference between aerobic, anaerobic exercises and fit these both into your exercise program.

2. Know how is health lifestyle and exercise related and take the steps to improve your health through exercising.

3. Know what is the definition of aerobic exercise and do some easy aerobics today even if it means walking around the block.

4. Understand what makes anaerobic exercising so important and how to begin this type of exercise.

5. Know the types of aerobic exercise and work aerobics into your exercise without stressing more of your system.

Nutritional stress is eating you up

Think about what you eat. Why are you causing even more stress? Nutrition is the soil for your health. If you are ill all the time your body is not repairing itself from the ground up. To heal you need the right diet. You need the right source of minerals, vitamins and enzymes that are optimal for your body to heal and repair.

Nutritionally, to receive the best benefit you must:

1. Know what is the definition of nutrition, let's start there.

2. Know what makes up good nutrition.

3. Know why is nutrition important when exercise.

4. Know how bad fast foods really are.

5. Know the reason why the food pyramid changed.

6. Understand how the basic food groups are put together.

Repressing emotional stress will just come up as stress

All illness, disease, and malady has an emotional component. Every health problem reoccur over and over until the hidden emotional components are found and corrected.

Emotional control is paramount for reducing stress and one of the most important aspects for helping the body maintain homeostasis.

To enjoy a healthy balance of emotions, you must:

1. Know how stress affects health.

2. Know how stress affects lifestyle.

3. Know how stress produces physical symptoms.

4. Know what do with negative emotions.
