  • Williams discussed stress fuels inflammation, the hidden cause of many modern ailments. Jobs, kids, mortgage, bills, groceries, housework coping with modern life can sometimes feel like a remorseless treadmill. Many people end up exhausted, with a vague feeling that all this pressure can't be doing them any good. Far from being for wimps, physical and psychological stress are major triggers of a modern scourge that has been linked with every malady from heart disease, depression and chronic pain to neurodegenerative diseases.
