PUBLISHER’S NOTE

According to Francis Bacon, “A healthy body is the greatest chamber of soul; a sick one, its prison.” But to maintain a healthy body one must not only follow the rules of moderate health living coupled with a state of moral relaxation exercising one’s judgment in meeting the strains and stresses in life but must also understand the disease process, since a proper understanding of not only the health but also of the sickness is essential in maintaining a healthy being.
The present day stress of life produces harmful effects not only on different organs of the body but also on the psyche. There is no denying the fact that both the mind and body are so interlinked that their mutual interaction constitutes equal share in the maintenance of the normal human cycle.
To live a normal healthy life one has to live life and enjoy it. Life can’t be a mathematical equation of do’s and don’t but, put in a judicious manner; the various intricacies of a healthy and diseased body must be well appreciated. If one can understand that the road to healthy living through a life of moderation in one’s habit and attitudes towards life, the task becomes much easier.
To make the task easier we present to you Perfect Health , a set of four books.

Book I: Perfect Health: Body, Diet & Nutrition Book II: Perfect Health: Fitness & Slimming Book III: Perfect Health: Health Hazards & Cure Book IV: Perfect Health: Stress & Alternative Therapies
This set of four books is not meant to create awareness about the physical well-being alone. There are many books doing that, already. Instead, all the four books are all about creating awareness that fitness of the mind and emotions is as important as the fitness of body. And unless one works at being fit in every way, one is not likely to find true health.
To many, this would seem an unattainable goal but it is not so. The effort required to work towards an integrated health and fitness regime is hardly any more difficult than trying to balance your social and spiritual life. Where there is a will, there is a way. And so with fitness.
Perfect Health provides a complete step-by-step program of mind body medicine tailored to individual needs. The result is a total plan, tailor-made for each individual, to reestablish the body’s essential balance with nature; to strengthen the mind-body connection; and to use the power of quantum healing to transcend the ordinary limitations of disease and aging – in short, for achieving perfect health.

Chapter 1
STRESS AND WHAT CAUSES IT?
Mind
There are times when we all need a physical and psychological boost to push us over the hump. This means that the mind has a great amount of hold on one’s feeling of well-being. Which is why I guess the saying a healthy mind, in a healthy body , holds true.
Speaking of the interplay of healthy mind and healthy body, it is like speaking of self-development. For when the body is healthy, your mind automatically becomes free of worries and you can concentrate on more productive issues.
Among the low phases of natural living, one has to deal with one more factor that has made its appearance in the last few decades. It is stress I. If there is any, truly, global phenomenon, it is stress.
STRESS is an inescapable part of modern life. The good news is that stress isn’t altogether bad news. In metered doses, it can be helpful…it can even make you better at what you do, and help give you the competitive edge.
Stress is an adaptive response. It’s the body’s reaction to an event that is seen as emotionally disturbing, disquieting, or threatening. When we perceive such an event, we experience what one stress researcher called the “fight or flight” response. To prepare for fighting or fleeing, the body increases its heart rate and blood pressure; more blood is then sent to your heart and muscles, and your respiration rate increases.
Our stress response is more likely triggered by overwhelming responsibilities at home or work, by loneliness, or by the fear of losing our jobs. Not only is uncontrolled stress harmful to our bodies in and of itself, but it can also lead to unwise behaviours such as alcohol and drug abuse, which place us at even greater risk, health wise. It can also jeopardize our relationships, by leading to emotional outbursts and, in some cases, physical violence.
The word ‘stress’ is taken from engineering jargon; in essence it means the deformation or change caused on a body by the internal forces that work on it. The maximum stress a body can withstand and still return to its normal state is known as its ‘elastic limit’. This applies on people, too – an individual has his or her own elastic limit, both in terms of degree and type of stress. It is when the body is put under long-term stress that it can reach its snapping point; if it does the damage can be irreparable.
There are several major sources of stress:
Survival stress: this may occur in cases where your survival or health is threatened, where you are put under pressure, or where you experience some unpleasant or challenging event. Here adrenaline is released in your body and you experience all the symptoms of your body preparing for ‘fight or flight’.
Internally generated stress: this can come from anxious worrying about events beyond your control, from a tense, hurried approach to life, or from relationship problems caused by your own behaviour. It can also come from an ‘addiction’ to and enjoyment of stress
Environmental and job stress: here your living or working environment causes the stress. It may come from noise, crowding, pollution, untidiness, dirt or other distractions. Alternatively stress can come from events at work.
Fatigue and overwork: here stress builds up over a long period. This can occur where you try to achieve too much in too little time, or where you are not using effective time management strategies.
Of all the stressors, the ones related to lifestyle and jobs are the most common. In fact, they form the bulk of stressors. Let us have a look at some of them, it will help you to identify these stressors and learn to deal with them.
