Low-Tech Options
Major medical journals are proving that tremendous stress can cause heart failure from overload of our stress hormones. In other words, we can suffer from broken hearts! The more we understand about the subtleties of the human body, the more the role of the mind-body relationship finds a niche. For example, we now know that depression is a major predictor of death after a heart attack. Who would have thought? The next major research frontier may be this low-tech alternative to the high-tech options above.
