One of our most hidden killers is stress: stress in the myriad varieties of social, financial, family, and health problems that we contend with on a daily basis. The busy mind, filled with plans, worries, to-do lists, and regrets about events past, produces stress that sets off a complex series of physiological events in our bodies. You probably have your own set of clues: churning stomach, palpitations, tightness across the upper back, headaches, feeling rundown or always susceptible to whatever virus is going around. For some, a nagging little voice speaking of failure or not measuring up. My answer to this, as a doctor, isn’t what you would necessarily think. In my practice I find that more and more I prescribe meditation, or mindfulness practice, to my patients.
