Studies suggest that people who are easily stressed develop blockages in blood passageways faster than people who are calm.
A few years ago a study of women was carried out in Japan. It found that women who reported high levels of stress were more than 2 times as likely to die from stroke and heart disease as other women.
High stress levels have been found to cause asthma attacks that make it difficult to breathe. Stress also is (đảo lại) linked to mental con***ions such as depression and anxiety disorders.
Studies also have shown that chronic stress reduces the levels of the hormone Estrogen in women. This might put some women at greater risk for heart disease or the bone-thinning disease, Osteoporosis.
Experts say long-term stress also can weaken your resistance to infections such as colds and influenza, as well as your ability to recover from these diseases. Extended periods of stress are also linked to headaches, difficulty sleeping, stomach problems and skin problems.
Mental and health experts believe personality is an important part in how we experience stress. Personality is the way a person acts, feels and thinks. Many things influence the development of a person?Ts personality, including genetics and experience.
Some people, for example, are aggressive and always in a hurry. They often become angry when things do not happen the way they planned. They are called ''''type A'''' personalities. Studies suggest that these people often get stress-related illnesses.
The type B personality is a much more calm person. These people are able to deal with all kinds of situations more easily. As a result, they are less affected by stress.
Studies show that men and women deal with stress differently. Women usually have stronger social support systems to help them in times of trouble. These social supports may help explain why many women seem to be better able to deal with stress than men are. However, experts say women are 3 times more likely to develop depression in reaction to the stress in their lives.
Chronic stress is most common among people in the workplace, especially among women. Scientists studying stress in the workplace say many women are under severe stress because of the pressures of work, marriage and children.
Some experts say that pressure cause a chemical imbalance in the brain that can lead to depression. More than 30 million American women suffer from depression. These problems are linked to the stress-filled lives and constant hurrying.
People who care for family members who are old or sick also suffer from high levels of stress. Most caregivers in the United States are women. Several studies have been done on people who care for family members with Alzheimer''''s disease. The studies show that the caregivers have high Cortisol level in their bodies.

This greatly weankens (?) their natural defences againts diseases. For example, one study in the U.S found that women who cared for family members with all asthma took an evarage of nine days longer to heal a small wound, it also shown that the blood cells from the caregivers produce lower amount of subtances that are important for healing and for fighting diseases.
Experts say there are several ways to deal with stress. They include de-breathing, and a method of guided thought called me***ation. They also include exersice, eating healthy food, getting enough rest, and balancing the time spent working and play. Doctors say, peple should limit the amounts of alcohol and caffein in their diets. People who have many drinks with caffein like coffee, experience more stress, and produce more stress hormones. Experts say exercise is one of the most effective stress reduction measures. Running, walking or playing sports causes physical changes but make you feel better.

Doctors say deep-slow breathing also is helpful and many medical studies have shown that clearing their minds through quiet me***ation helps us become calm.

Welcome to Amercian mosaic in VOA special English.
I''''''''m Dough Johnson. On our show this week, we play songs by new members of the rock and roll Hall of Fame, answer a question of copying
information from website and report
about teenage bloggers.
Personal internet websites or blogs are becoming more and more popular among young people but the risks to personal privacy
are also increasing. Faith Lapidus tells us more. Millions of young people are creating blogs. Millions of others are reading them. The word "Blog" is a short way of saying "web log". Many popular websites now offer free, easy ways to create personal web pages and fill them with writings and pictures. Websites called face books and my space are some of the most popular blog sites for young people. Many young adults use their blogs to write about daily activities and events in their lives. They also provide a place for people to write their ideas and opinions and react to the ideas of others. Blogs offer young people a place to show their writings and other forms of self expressions. Blogs can also be helpful to connect young people to larger social groups. But some researchers say the seemingly harmless blogs can become dangerous when read on the Internet by millions of people all over the world. People are concerned that students are including information in their blogs that create a threat to their own privacy and safety. Recent studies show that young people always provide their name, age and where they live. This personal information puts them at risk of being sought out by dangerous people who want to harm them. Many students do not know about privacy and are surprised to learn about that adults
can easily read their personal daily records . Students can also get into trouble when they include information on their blogs that can be seen as a threat to others. In several American states, students have been expelled from their schools or even arrested after their blogs were found to include threats against other students or teachers. As a result, many schools have banned the use of blogging websites on school computers.Many schools have also begun teaching parents about the websites. Researchers say parents should know what their children are doing online and should read their blogs to make sure they are not giving out private information. One way to avoid these problems is by using programs that permit blogs to be read by friends only. These blogs permit people to read the websites only if they know a secret word chosen by bloggers.

Our listener''''s question this week comes from a student at Bogazici university in Turkey. Serkan Polat asks if it is legal to download audio and texs from the special English website. Almost all of the audio, video and written materials created by special English are free for public use. We urge you to visit our website and download programs. You can hear our features and read along with the written texts. This is a great way to improve your English. Special English can provide materials for free because the voice of America is financed with the taxpayer money . Our programs are not protected by copyright, except for some American stories adapted into Special English. These may only be broadcast by special English.They may not be used for any other purposes. We do not place these stories on our website.
The American stories that are on our website are no longer under copyright protection. Anyone can request a copyright for his or her creative work. The holder of a copyright
can prevent others from copying that creative work. The United States'' library of Congress supervises
this process through its copyright office.
When the terms of the copyright protection end, the work
is released into the public domain. Publicly owned works, such as most special English programs are part of the public domain. They may be used by anyone for any purpose. A creative work is considered part of the public domain if there are no laws which restrict its use by the public. The term public domain is often poorly understood when it is about the material on the Internet. It is possible for everyone to post copyrighted materials on the Internet freely and easily. So this may be why many people believe that all information on the Internet is in the public domain. This is false. Getting information for free does not mean that someone is free to republish it.
