10 tips for busting stress
We all feel stressed from time to time. Whether it's the kids getting under our feet, money worries or just feeling like there's not enough hours in the day, stress can quickly get on top of us and lead to more serious health problems.
In recent years stress has been linked to asthma attacks and most recently, diabetes in men. All of these conditions are serious and so it pays to nip that stressed feeling in the bud before it leads to bigger problems.
With help from experts, Charles Linden - founder of The Linden Method for anxiety, panic attacks and OCD and Neil Shah - director of The Stress Management Society, we've put together a 10-point stress-busting guide to keep you feeling happy and healthy.

Thank you for this article! I am a young mum of 3 children under 3. I have let things get on top of me lately and it is great to read an article like this to give me pointers and advice on how to cope with the stresses. I heard about this website via the pull out 'what's not on tv' in the tv magazine because I was wanting to enter the competition on the back..now I think I have just found the best and most informative site going! Ta!
