Strive to develop one's inner self. Tranquility. Even.
Stress less. Meditation. Fairness. Helping others without looking
for anything in return. Focus on what is important. Dismiss, like
water off a duck's back, the frictions of life. Accept people for
what they are - It is that very diversity that makes life so interesting.
Long term and short term effects of stress
are dealt with by the two web sites below:

Besides external factors, inner stress can be just as harmful.
For example: While moderate exercise is healthy, pushing one's body
to an extreme can be injurious. So, the key is moderation and strive
for inner tranquility. Try meditation and deep breathing techniques.
Dr. Emmett Miller has some
wonderful relaxation tapes and a mind/body book.
Sleep
Almost all living animals need sleep. That is when
the body heals itself. When we lay down at night, the pineal gland
produces Melatonin; more when we are younger, less as we age. This
hormone is believed to control the sleep process. Do you know that
in animal studies, those given supplements of Melatonin live 20%
longer. (Near starvation also increased animal longevity by up to
40%!)
