Emotional Stress
Emotions matter because they influence our behavior. And there is no emotional experience that has a more powerful influence on us than stress.
Stress refers to the physiological responses that occur when an organism fails to respond appropriately to emotional or physical threats.
Extreme negative events, such as being the victim of a terrorist attack, a natural disaster, or a violent crime, may produce an extreme form of stress known as Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), a medical syndrome that includes symptoms of anxiety, sleeplessness, nightmares, and social witdrawal. PTSD is frequently experienced by Soldiers who return home from wars, with those who have experienced more extreme events during the war also experiencing more PSTD.
When it is extreme or prolonged, stress can create subtantial health problems such as
Heart attack
Heart disease
High blood pressure
Diabetes.

Avoid taking Caffeine, Alcohol, and Nicotine
Engage in physical excercise
Do something you enjoy everyday

Eat a healthy diet.
