The Art of Managing Stress

Workload, tight deadlines, politics, difficult relationships, being in a job you're not confident about, poor eating and drinking habits … all or any of these put pressure on your system. A common reaction to stress is to try and escape, at least temporarily, to take a coffee or for a smoke … but this only adds to the toxins creating pressure on your body.
