According to recent research published in the May 22, 2007 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC), highly anxious patients with heart disease faced nearly double the risk of death compared to their less anxious counterparts. Additionally, those who grew more anxious over time were at greatest risk, while those who started out anxious but later made peace with their situation experienced a marked reduction in their risk.

While this research is especially relevant to those facing heart disease and other serious illnesses, it demonstrates the importance of a serene point of view for all of us. The following resources can help you better understand the relationship between stress and anxiety with your health, and find stress relievers that can help you attain a greater sense if inner peace.
