After the scolding, you scoot to your desk and realize your middle is so wide that you can't get any closer. Little do you know that your morning ritual has some responsibility for that girth.
That's because of a stress hormone called cortisol, a steroid and a major player in the fight-or-flight reaction that we call stress.
Your body secretes cortisol when it feels prolonged tension. In modern society, that can last for years. And the result can be obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and even cancer.
Experts note that stress is difficult to describe or control, because what stresses one person may be calming to another. Nevertheless, however you experience stress, the result is the same.

More than 2 million youngsters in the United States have a learning disability - a condition that makes it hard for someone of otherwise normal intelligence to read, write, speak or work with numbers. Federal law requires local school systems to provide all children with disabilities a “free appropriate public education.” But special education costs more than twice as much per student as regular education. Many school policy-makers have called for teaching almost all students with disabilities in regular classrooms. Advocacy groups for people with learning disabilities, however, say “full inclusion” has reduced the services that youngsters with learning disorders need to succeed. The debate has intensified with a new Supreme Court decision that makes it easier to force school systems to pay for private schooling for children with disabilities
