Worried Sick?

Written by Kathryn Savage

What with the economy doing its part, and gas prices shooting up, people across the country are worried about debt.

While concern for the economy, yours and the countries is understandable, a recent poll found that all this money worry is quite bad for you, literally. People reporting high debt stress, also report ulcers, digestive problems, migraines and other headaches.
How can you reduce stress?

• Sit down with a financial planner or debt counselor in your area and come up with a plan to get debt-free and start saving for your future.
• Have an earnest conversation with yourself, your spouse and family members about ways to reduce personal expenses.
• Keep healthy eating and exercise a priority. A walk or a run is a great way to reduce stress and take the edge off. Cutting meat out of the budget means you have more room to creatively prepared vegetables and beans. Beans are a Blue Zones longevity all star food, you know!
