The increased stress level impacts at multiple level. One, it impacts family life. Two, It definitely impacts mental health. Third, indirectly, it impacts the physical health also. Many take to smoking and drinking beyond acceptable limits. This increase the chances of Lung Cancers and Liver Failures. Many who could not handle the mental fatigue end up at Neurology Clinics. Not with standing even some of these Best Neuro-Surgeons may be fighting stress levels too.

5. A weekend in an Ayurveda Institute can be a big stress buster.
