Every day we are faced with different types of stress from work, family and people. We create and crave the adrenalin that helps us to reach our goals.

This is why mental health is so important because not only do we have only one body, we have only one mind and we need to look after them. https://goo.gl/xE95dR

Mental Health—A Reality Check October is mental health month. Every day we are faced with different types of stress: self inflicted stress of unrealistic expectations, external stress from our work or family environment or stress that we categorise as 'adrenalin rush' which creates the momentum driv...

Sleep becomes harder due to stress and lack of exercise, and we wake up tired and sore. Snacking, overeating and drinking take a toll on our bodies over time. Our bodies start to make noises to remind us we are getting old. But there are solutions. http://goo.gl/tPrQZu
