Stress is a killer

"Make no mistake about it; stress is a killer." Jack LaLanne

And, make no mistake about it; caregiving is a source of great stress.  I have a friend who has now developed chronic low back pain and high blood pressure from the stress of caregiving her husband with Lewy Bodies Dementia.  Even the seemingly simple things are stressful when one is dealing with someone with Lewy Bodies Dementia.  So, how do we handle this stress?  Exercise daily, meditate daily, eat nutritious foods, avoid overuse of alcohol or caffeine, have a support system, manage your thinking so that it is positive and optimistic.
