While once you may have assumed that \u201cstress\u201d is defined by the length of your daily to-do list, you now know that\u2019s only part of the story.

Extensive study has shown that they help the body maintain the constant internal balance necessary for health, even on our most stressor-filled days.<\/p>\n
