I believe that stress causes the arteries to inflame, and the cholesterol that would normally flow through easily in an unstressed heart, sticks to the stressed heart.
Why do I think this? Because God said that the man who trusts the Lord lives a long life. Those who trust God have far less stress in their lives.
For years we were told not to eat butter, eggs and fat, now many studies show that these things are not only good for us but needed.
The scientific evidence is improving all the time to reveal things that were not discovered before.
When we trust Christ our stress level is dramatically reduced because we give our worries to Him Even in the difficult times we worry less about them than someone who is a non-believer.
Joy carries us through everything that is difficult, because Christ goes through with us.
Proverbs 3:5-6 "5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."
Psalm 91:1-16
"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, ..."
Romans 15:13
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope."
Worry and fear causes health problems. Not all health problems are due to stress, some are there for us to endure for God's purposes for sure, however many things we bring on ourselves because of the stress and worry we allow to encroach.
