Stress Management as part of Brain Fitness Programs

By:

The arti­cle Job Stress Fuels Dis­ease reports on the results from a new study of 677 work­ers that show that “When work stress becomes unman­age­able, job burnout can lead to a com­bi­na­tion of three symptoms:

  • Emo­tional exhaustion
  • Phys­i­cal fatigue or exhaustion
  • Cog­ni­tive weari­ness (slow thinking)”

and that “Stud­ies have shown that work­place stress can lead to an increase in rates of heart dis­ease, flu virus, meta­bolic syn­drome and high blood pressure.”

Which is why we are equally focused on Men­tal Stimulation/ Brain Exer­cise Pro­grams and on Stress Management-both are needed for Brain Fitness.
