Your body is listens to everything - your food, your your habits, your emotions. Stress doesn't just live in your mind; it settles in your organs, digestion, breath, energy and overall health. The things you eat, the way you live, the thoughts you think and keep inside yourself as well as the words you speak are not just neutral, meaningless things. They all leave a mark, influencing your mental and physical state. Your body is speaking to you all the time trying to tell you what it needs. While it is a good idea to discuss persisting issues with a medical provider, simply paying attention to subtle signs your body sends you, you can often avoid major health problems.
