Reduce Stress?

"The American Institute of Stress characterizes stress as "America's #1 health problem" and associates it with a host of diseases. Practices such as yoga have been used worldwide for thousands of years to increase relaxation and manage stress. A recent study conducted at Massachusetts General Hospital sheds some light on how stress-reducing activities can actually help fight disease. These activities trigger what is known as the relaxation response, which is characterized by decreased oxygen consumption and reduced psychological distress."
