 Relax­ing for your Brain’s Sake
- By Gre­gory Kel­let
What stresses you out ? What­ever it is, how you respond to it may have more con­se­quences than you think. Let me show you how.

 Man­age Stress for Your Brain Health
- By Lan­don N
Thou­sands and thou­sands of web-like neu­rons linked together form a spongy mass inside a skull. This mass, called the brain, is what con­trols the body and the thoughts that run threw it have a notable effect on the heath of an indi­vid­ual. In addi­tion to thoughts, fear, stress, and emo­tions also have a strong effect on health.
