OVER ONE BILLION STRESSCARDS DISTRIBUTED WORLD WIDE AND NUMBERS STILL GROWING: Increased Worldwide Stress & Anxiety Levels Cause Demand for Stress Cards to Soar.

(PRLEAP.COM) Stress has always been a major health factor. Thanks to books like Type A Behavior and Your Heart by Meyer Friedman, M.D. people now know that stress is the #1 cause of heart disease and stroke; stress is a much bigger causative factor than diet, weight and lack of exercise. Yes, cholesterol buildup in the arteries is the main cause of heart disease but as pointed out by Dr. Friedman, stress is the #1 cause of cholesterol buildup.Stress causes higher blood cholesterol levels as well as small tears in artery walls where cholesterol plaque builds up.
Also, as pointed out in The Habit Buster (amazon.com) by Alfred A. Barrios, Ph.D., stress is also a major factor in many addictions including smoking, over-eating, alcoholism and excess use of tranquilizer drugs.
Now after 9/11 and the continuing downturn in the economy, stress and anxiety levels are at an all time high and the population's health is fast reaching a danger point. Consequently, there has been a renewed interest in stress control devices such as the Stress Control Biofeedback Card.
The Stress Card first appeared in 1984 as part of a book package(Stress Handbook and Card) called The Stress Test ($3.95 @ amazon.com)which reached #2 on the Times bestseller list. Since then, over one billion cards have been distributed worldwide primarily through the promotional market with companies giving them away as a good will gesture to their customers. But now because of the increased demand, the cards are once again being sold at the retail level. This time the card is sold by itself in a blisterpack format and at a lower, impulse price of $1.99.
For more information on the stress card and how to obtain it you can go to www.stresscards.com. For retail sales go to Stress Cards section. For promotional cards go to Promotional Items section.
