  • Grief can kill you too. Loneliness kills too. Bleak outlook for the future= heart attack,pain,depression,anxiety­. Get a pet. Pet it.

  • @artifishal This excerpt from the book is but one of many surprising findings. Cortisol is a hormone secreted by the adrenal gland as a response to stress, lowering the immune system via a CASCADE of gene expression, making the body more susceptible to diseases. Feelings of being out of control (as in people on welfare or in poor jobs) produces cortisol. So diet and exercise are beneficial, but NOT the main element in determining heart attack. Meditation and yoga may be even MORE beneficial.
