    Article headline: How stress takes a toll on the heart.

    “Stress is as likely to cause a heart attack as being over-weight, smoking or having high cholesterol”.

    “Stress-related illness has become the number one cause of absenteeism in the workplace in Britain and is believed to cost £3.7 billion a year in lost productivity and healthcare costs.”

  2. Website recommendations
    As a stress therapist, trainer & life coach, I have to keep updated with facts and figures. You’ll find the Health & Safety Executive website (www.hes.gov)very helpful with lots of stats. Also the CIPD website (www.cipd.co.uk)and http://www.businessballs.com which also has some stats relating to stress. If I can help further let me know on annie@breathingspacetherapies.co.uk
