In severe situations you could experience overwhelming stress to the point of so-called burn-out with extreme fatigue and loss of interest in normal activities.

Since research has shown that high levels of stress have a negative impact on our immune systems, and hence on our general state of health, it is not unusual for the stressed-out among us to suffer constantly from colds, or other infections or illnesses.

Feeling overwhelmed?

But stress is very much part of the modern lifestyle – traffic, interest rates, school activities and meetings, meetings, meetings. Take some time to learn a few stress management techniques such as:

• change your diet a little


• talk to our yoga expert or our Tai chi expert to find a few stretches and moves that will help rid you of that feeling of tightness


• take some time to follow the steps of a stress management programme


• write in to FitnessDoc, CyberShrink or CyberDoc for any additional de-stressing advice
