Does eliminating stress prevent disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not always: Stress can increase hardiness and resiliency in someone who is well nourished and has a healthy life style. Chronic stress in a setting of low vitamin d and other nutritional deficiencies and exposure to a large number of environmental pollutants fosters disease.
