How to deal with stress and stay healthy is different from how to lead and innovate, but essential for leaders to balance work and life and stay healthy.
About 70% of health issues are stress-related. Studies found that 100% of CEOs (Vistage) suffer from stress. The leading causes of death among executives are the heart attack, suicide, stroke, and cancer. The first three are directly stress-related. Stress’ immune suppression also contributes to Cancer. Other stress-related issues include insomnia, stroke, headache, fast aging, weight gain, diabetes, stomachache, etc.
Stress and associated challenges are considered “non-health causes.” Traditional care mainly works on “health causes” and relieve symptoms of “non-health causes.” Thus, the same health issues often keep on coming back, get worse, and “treatments” can go from a few hundred dollars to millions, for example, the treatments for heart attack. The efficient solution is to take care of health and non-health cause(s) at the same time, which is how we can free victims from heart attack to do what they need instead of “Avoid All Stress.” Read more at www.BYBSH.com.
