Chronic stress is when our bodies do not return to their more relaxed state. Our hearts keep racing, our muscles stay tense, and we breathe quickly, not deeply. A number of essential body functions stay suppressed, like our digestive systems, reproductive organs, and our immunity to infections. Headaches, sleeplessness, depressed mood, anger, and irritability can all be caused by stress, and they can lead to more serious diseases like obesity, depression, heart disease, and high blood pressure.

May 6 is National Nurse’s Day. The date is close to the birthday of Florence Nightingale, who is often given credit for establishing the nursing profession.

She is also credited with developing the idea for what we now know as a hospital.
