A2B—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, May 10,1980
NEWARK, Del. - Why is
it that one person can break
a leg and remain calm, while
another gets hysterical over
a broken teacup?
There’s a word to describe
why we come apart at the
seams. It's called “stress”.
We’re hearing a lot about
stress these days, perhaps
because more people are
under greater stress in this
topsy-turvy world or
perhaps because we’re
beginning to realize how
destructive prolonged stress
can be to our bodies and
emotions.
Whatever the reason,
stress is a fashionable word,
and Lynn Hershey,
Delaware home economist,
is convinced that the more
each of us knows about it the
better off we’ll be.
Stress refers to the
Sign of the times

Farmers Union, states his position clearly.

Do yourself a favor,
physical and emotional
responses of the body when
demands are made of it.
These responses are not
always bad. Short-term or
limited stress can be in
vigorating and extremely
productive. An onrushing
deadline can ignite a good
writer and make him even
better. The pressure of
Olympic competition can
cause new records to be set.
An actress who turns pea
green before going onstage
may wind up with a Tony
Award for her performance.
A camper who’s approached
by an unfriendly bear may
suddenly be able to run twice
as fast as he ever did before.
However, it these people
were to function at a high
stress level all the time, they
could become ill.

there is no way we can avoid
stress altogether until ngor
mortis sets in; and as we
attempt to cope with stress,
our bodies react physically.
Stress can often be worked
off or channeled in positive
ways. But prolonged stress
can be a killer.
Heart and circulatory
diseases, ulcers, suicide,
alcoholism, child abuse,
emotional disorders and
teenage drug addiction are
just a few of the problems
linked to stress.
Use of Valium and other
tranquihzing drugs has
reached epidemic proper
tions as people strive to cope
with stress.
What healthful alter
natives are there when we’re
faced with stressful
situations? Sometimes it’s
possible to change these
take control
situations and remove the
stressors. If you have an
apartment next to a bongo
drummer and can’t stand
the dm, move.
More often, however, we
just have to cope with stress.
The trick is to cope in ways
that reduce body strain, not
aggravate it. For example,
drinking coffee all night
while cramming for an exam
aggravates it.
On the other hand,
vigorous exercise is con
sidered one of the best
stress-reducers. Go for a
hike or swim. Scrub the
kitchen floor (unless that
happens to be the cause of
your stress!). Play touch
football with your kids. Do 20
sit-ups.
If you spend your days in
an office, that’s no excuse.
Climb up and down several
flights of stairs every
morning and afternoon. Go
for a brisk walk during your
lunch hour. Bend down and
touch your toes when no one
is looking or even if
someone is.
Learning to relax is vital.
It’s a skill that can be
