International Stress Awareness Day is observed every first Wednesday of November. That is, it fell on November 4 this year. Not long ago, a Finnish doctor gave me advice regarding maintaining my health: "You need to sleep a lot, eat good food and avoid stress." Is it easy to say how to achieve this? These are funny times. Another Finnish cancer doctor and researcher met me on a completely different occasion, but he started talking about his work, and I asked him about the effect of stress on his research subject. He replied that the connection is direct. If it doesn't cause it, it does cause the spread to accelerate. He also said that there is a simple medicine that minimizes the effect of stress on the body. But it should be taken directly in a moment of stress or as soon as possible. This remedy is a glass of pure water. I share advice from a professor in the field of throat tumors.
