Most people are acutely aware of stress in their life, especially when it comes to events like moving, ending a relationship, or mourning a loved one's passing. But it is the everyday pressures of life that can have the most profound effect on our health since stressful experiences trigger significant hormonal reactions.

"Stress triggers adrenaline and cortisol," Dr. Nottingham says. "We've all probably felt the 'rush' of adrenaline during a dangerous situation, but cortisol is a little less known. Cortisol gives us energy for fight or flight, but also triggers the body to replenish the energy it just used."

Essentially, cortisol makes us hungry for easy energy sources like simple sugars and carbohydrates – foods that quickly replenish energy stores but also contribute directly to the accumulation of belly fat. Cortisol also stops the hormone leptin from performing the important job of telling our bodies that we are "full."

To combat stress, Dr. Nottingham recommends relaxation techniques and hobbies to unwind and ease the mind. She also encourages healthy eating and natural supplementation to help in the process of relaxation. Life Extension has created a supplement called Natural Stress Relief specifically for this purpose that contains L-Theanine and lemon balm. For more information visit http://www.lef.org/suzanneTV.

You not only get the headline, but also the body of text of the news release, keeping the user on your site at all times. In order to do so, the difference between our Widget and other widgets is at the end of the sign-up process, you will be provided with two pieces of source code -- one for the page where the Widget itself will be displayed and one for the pages that will display the body of text of each news release. In addition, the sign-up process allows you to have 100 percent control over every aspect of the Widget's appearance, so that the Widget can blend in fully with the look and feel of your site.
