Stress as we know it today is actually derived from the word distress and refers to great pain, anxiety, sorry, bother, worry or trouble – either physical or mental in nature and our body’s response to these charged situations.
In most of the westernized world today stress has become an epidemic with approximately 75% of adults between the ages of 20 and 64 reporting some level of stress – and somewhere between 25 and 35% reporting extreme stress on a regular basis. This is so prevalent that the World Health Organization has declared stress as THE health epidemic of the 21st century.
