It is said that Stress can increase aging and take years off of your life and nothing is more stressful than a hurricane season like the hurricane season we had in 2005. Worse off these large catastrophic hurricane seasons are expected to continue and the 2006 Atlantic tropical hurricane season should be among one of the worst.

Mandatory evacuations that are required by law and can be some the most stressful events that people can endure during tropical hurricane seasons and you'll need to find a way to alleviate your stress during these times. There are many ways to alleviate Stress and one of them is something that you will not be get to do; you'll not be able to shop after a large catastrophic hurricane because the power will be out and no businesses will be open and you will not be able to buy gasoline for your car to get to the mall.

Over eating is another thing that people do when they are stressed and you'll need to watch your food supplies if you fail to evacuate because you will be under limited food supplies and that could possibly last for up to three or four weeks. Additionally you'll need one gallon of water per day for those three to four weeks and no doubt that is a lot of bottled water to stock up on.

Adversity builds character and hurricanes can certainly build a lot of character for you during these time periods but they can also cause you stress and that may cause you to age more rapidly and cause health issues. You need to be considering ways to protect your health and prevent aging unnecessarily. Think on this in 2006.
