Neuroendocrinologist McEwen translates scientific research on the brain and the immune system into lay terms for the chronically stressed-out. He explains how the body's stress response evolved to help us cope with changes and challenges, and how it can cause illness and depression if it gets out of balance. He describes simple, grandmother-approved steps--exercise, a healthy diet, regular sleep--that can keep stress in check, and then explains precisely how they work to calm a body down.
