M.E.N. is the cause of all stress…but NOT in the way you think!
When we think of stress, we tend to focus on emotional stress, and though emotional stress is very real, it is just one side of a health triangle. It’s important to know that there are three types of stress that can seriously impact our health. Studies have shown that stress is the cause of chronic disease and M.E.N. are the cause of all stress. In the McCaffrey Health world, M.E.N. stands for: Mechanical, Emotional and Nutritional stress. Overtime, these three stresses – M.E.N. can cause chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease, dementia, diabetes and more. According to the World Health Organization, 88% of the deaths in 2016 were caused by Chronic, Degenerative diseases.
