What “Optimal” Health Is Really Costing You — The Hidden Price Nobody Talks About
▶ Are people doing enough to manage stress?
Probably not.
In the US, over a quarter of people report that most days, they’re so stressed they can’t function.70 In Canada, it’s similar: Just under a quarter of people say that most days in their life are either “quite a bit” or “extremely” stressful.71
Additionally, over a third of people say they don’t know where to start when it comes to managing their stress.72
▶ Is getting more than the recommended amount better?
Not necessarily.
The goal is to find your stress “sweet spot.” Because we all enjoy and tolerate different types and amounts of stress, how you feel is actually a pretty good indicator of whether stress is too low, too high, or “just right.”
