Ask the Experts: Finances Affecting Your Health?

Q: We have been really stressed about financial issues in our house and its starting to affect my health.  Do you have any advice, suggestions or recommendations for us?

A: Many people are having financial challenges so you are not alone.  We believe that your health issues could be reduced or eliminated if you were provided with options or solutions for your financial problems.  To answer your question, we invited financial expert Nichole Cannon to give you some financial health advice and resources to help you deal with your financial worries.

One thing is certain: Time never stands still.  Major personal events such as marriage, divorce, childbirth, career changes or retirement, new home purchase or foreclosure can cause stress levels to increase.  Consistently high levels of stress can cause migraines, sleep disorders, overeating, high blood pressure and much more.

A few key things can help you through these times:

1. Stay positive.  There are two Chinese characters for the English word "Crisis", they mean challenge and opportunity.  Try to see the new opportunites on tough times.

2. Don't stop working out.  You release helpful hormones called endorphins that will help you feel better.  The endorphins released while even taking a brisk walk or jog will help you lower stress levels.

3. Find someone who can review your situation and offer advice and options.  Too often we think we are the only ones going through financial challenges.  There's a lot of help out there for your debt, mortgage and savings challenges.

Based on recent market action and economic conditions, now might be a good time to review your financial progress.
