Distractions Cause Stress; Stress = Not Healthy!

This article from Entrepreneur Magazine was an eye-opener. I have seen the information before, but this article helped me really "see" it, and understand its implications.

Why is this being noted in a health blog? Because, as the article documents, distractions increase stress. Stress impacts health. A stressful person is more likely to seek comfort food, more likely to lay awake at night, and more likely to skip important things (like eating right and exercising) because they feel there is "too much to do."

I'd have to say I strongly disagree. When people learn to put God first, they should be in his Word and know His Truth about healthy well-being. God made our bodeis to be His temple - if we're not putting Him first, we don't know how to properly do that. God needs to come first. If he doesn't, every other prioroty will fall apart. God demands to be first in our lives - He tells us that the one and only place he wants to be. Anything less, is nothing at all.
