Stress is the body’s physical and psychological response to a specific demand made of us or to an event in our life. In some cases it motivates and encourages us to complete a task we find difficult so that we can take pride in ourselves and what we achieve.

The body’s stress response has evolved to outwit predators and avoid starvation, not to fight with rush hour traffic and overbearing bosses.
Modern living swells with sources of stress unrelated to life-or-death situations, such as sleep deprivation, poor nutrition, toxic relationships, financial concerns, and more.

1. What Does It Mean to be a Disciple of Jesus? KeynoteWilliam Anderson
This is the first of four sessions of our "Being and Making Disciples" workshop held in Sacele, Romania on September 1, 2012. In this session we answer the question "What Does It Means to be a Disciple of Jesus?". We did this by first looking at what the word "disciple" means and then looking at what Jesus, Peter and Paul had to say about being a disciple and then we finished by looking at Jesus' life to learn from His example. English with Romanian translation.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

10. AESOP’S FABLE OF THE GOOSE THAT LAYS
THE GOLDEN EGG
A farmer discovers a golden egg among the eggs laid by
His goose.
He gets the egg appraised by experts and it was found
to be pure gold. The same thing happened the next
day and every day thereafter. The farmer became
fabulously wealthy. But with the increasing wealth, comes
greed and impatience. Unable to wait day after day for the
golden eggs, the farmer decides to kill the goose and get
All the eggs at once. But when he opens the goose he
finds it empty. There are no golden eggs and now there is
no way to get any more. The farmer has destroyed the
goose that lays the golden egg.
11. Mind, Emotions, and Health
“ Thoughts and emotions affect all vital organs and systems of
the human body; nervous, immune, hormonal, circulatory, and
reproductive.” Hence, says Professor Marek Kowalczyk of the
Military Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology in Warsaw,
“people who live stressful lives suffer from colds and flu twice
as often as others.” And depressed women, he adds halve
their chances of becoming pregnant. The Polish magazine
Wprost also reports that while stress may not cause Cancer, it
can accelerate the development of dormant cancer.” Anger too
may harm health, for it is believed that aggressive, hostile
people have greater incidence of coronary disease, making
them more vulnerable to a heart attack.”

12. STRESS
10 CRUCIAL POINTS ABOUT STRESS
Stress is difficult to define because it is different from each of us. A ride
on a steep roller coaster may be terrifying to some while mere fun for
others
Stress – an unavoidable consequence of life. Some are inescapable, but
there are some about which you can do something. Need to distinguish
between the two. Learn the difference between things you can change
and the ones you can do nothing about
Stress affects us in different ways. Meditation, muscular relaxation and
aerobic exercises, jogging, yoga etc can be very effective against stress
Very important to realize that perception is key in stress. Stress may not
always be due to external events, but how we view those events
Always remember that Stress is something that is entirely under your
control. Nobody can make you inferior without your consent
13. STRESS
10 CRUCIAL POINTS ABOUT STRESS continued
If you have been treated unfairly, or have a reasonable request, learn to act
assertively but responsibly. If not satisfied with outcome, persist in politely
repeating your points of view from time to time, even if you begin to sound like
a broken record
Learn to say NO, when confronted by a request you suspect will probably be
stressful or time consuming. You can never please everybody.
Learn to manage your time such that you allow time for adequate relaxation,
recreation and sleep. Take time out to get in touch with your true feelings,
needs and desires. Make honest assessment of your strengths and weaknesses.
Establish some appropriate goals – to enable you fully utilize your talents.
Unrealistic aspirations lead to frustrations and rob you of the stress – reducing
benefits that come with pride of achievement
A strong social support system is a powerful stress – buffer. Family and friends
serve that need. Try to do something you enjoy that benefit others. Thank God
you are LIONS and WE SERVE!
14. SOME COMMON SIGNS AND SYMPTONS OF STRESS
Excess anxiety, worry, guilt, nervousness
Gritting and grinding of teeth, stuttering or stammering
Frequent crying spells or suicidal thoughts
Insomnia, nightmares, disturbing dreams
Tremors, trembling of legs and hands
Neck ache, back pain and muscle spasms
Lightheadedness, faintness and dizziness
Chest pain, palpitation or rapid pulse
Cold or sweaty hands and feet
Diminished sexual desire or performance
Rashes, itching, hives, ‘goose bumps’
Increased or decreased appetite
Increased smoking, drinking and usage of drugs – hard or OTC
Frequent urination
15. Executive Health:
Common Characteristics
Meals are often missed, irregular or poor in
quality
Boardroom food does not supply the balance
and nutrition necessary for optimal
performance
Caffeine is used as a stimulant
Physical environments are often not optimal
Stress is frequent and not released
16. When angry, count to four; when very angry, swear.
Mark Twain (1835-1910)
17. STAYING FIT, STAYING HEALTHY
1. There is an emerging consensus among health professionals
that physical activity need not be of vigorous intensity for it
to improve health. Health benefits appear to be proportional
to amount of activity; thus, every increase in activity adds
some benefit.
2. Frequency rather than intensity of exercise is key. Thus, a
moderate amount of activity can be obtained in a 30- minute
brisk walk, 30 minutes of lawn mowing or raking leaves, a
15-minute run, or 45 minutes of playing volleyball.
3. Physical activity reduces the risk of premature mortality in
general, and of coronary heart disease,
hypertension, colon cancer, and diabetes mellitus in
particular. Physical activity also improves mental health and
is important for the health of muscles, bones, and joints.
18. TAKE CHARGE, TAKE AN ACTIVE
INTEREST
Too many of us do not have the slightest idea of how to
maintain good health
When illness strikes, we rely on our doctors to cure us.
We fail to realize that “the cure” comes from within.
Nature has provided us with a wondrous immune system,
and all we have to do is take proper care of this inner
healing force.
Repeated studies show that even modest changes in
lifestyle can bring marked changes in health. For
instance, the longer people stay on their feet during the
day, the leaner they are.
19. YOU AND YOUR GUT!
Good Health starts from the stomach
You are what you eat.
The Mental Health Foundation revealed in February
2006 that studies had clearly linked ADHD (Attention
Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), Depression,
Alzheimer’s and Schizophrenia to junk food and the
absence of essential fats, vitamins and minerals in diet.
An Oxford University Study published in May 2005
showed that junk food and highly processed diets caused
bad behaviour and learning difficulties in children. It also
suggested that ADHD could be ‘treated’ by an improved
diet, rather than by medication.
20. YOU AND YOUR GUT!
What are these culprits?
- Fizzy drinks
- Fast foods – processed carbohydrates – meat pies,
doughnuts, cakes, chocolates, burghers, Big Macs etc.
- News came during the week of February 05 2006 of
the story of a young man of 20 who died of
malnutrition in Britain, having never eaten anything
but Chips, White toast and Baked beans, a diet which
caused fatal liver cirrhosis.
21. IMPORTANCE OF FRUITS
Fresh fruits - natural staples of Man -
substantial quantities of essential nutrients in a
rational proportion. Excellent sources of
minerals, vitamins and enzymes. Easily
digested - cleansing effect on the blood and
GIT.
Ensures good health. Ailments caused by
intake of unnatural foods can be successfully
treated by fruits.
22. WATER, THE SOURCE AND SUSTAINER OF LIFE
The Human body – 75% water and 25% solid
matter
The Brain is 85% water and extremely
sensitive to any dehydration or depletion of its
water content
The Human body rations water efficiently –
serving the most needy and starving the less
important. The brain takes absolute priority
over all other organs
Sensation of thirst decreases as we age.
Elderly people are less able to recognize
dehydration than younger men
23. REGULAR EXERCISE
Improves digestion and elimination
Increases endurance and energy levels
Promotes lean body mass while burning fat
Lowers overall blood cholesterol while increasing the
proportion of “good cholesterol” (HDL) to “bad”
cholesterol (LDL)
Reduces stress and anxiety, which are contributing
factors to many illnesses and conditions.
In addition, regular exercise has been known to:
Elevate mood, increase feeling of well – being
Reduces anxiety and depression
24. TAKE – AWAYS – CONCLUSIONS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
Watch what you eat. What you eat makes you.
Remember good health starts from the stomach
Increase your consumption of Raw products (Fruits, Seeds,
