Stress has enormous implications for our nation's healthcare system. According to the Institute of HeartMath , “ seven of the top ten selling drugs worldwide are either anti-depressants or anti-ulcer medications, with stress a prime factor in the need for both.” (http://www.heartmath.org/ihm-action/press-room/press-releases/health-care-cost.html)
Since American workers put in more hours at work than almost any other nation it is clear that workplace stress is a major contributor to stress-related healthcare issues that lead to skyrocketing health care costs in the U.S.
Work stress is an important issue for CEOs because stressed workers are very costly to the organization. In fact, according to the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine , highly stressed workers cost employers 50 percent more in healthcare costs.

Fortunately, there are ways to deal with stress in the workplace without burdening the social support and health care systems. For example, n ature has provided some very powerful nutrients that can help moderate the effects of stress.
