Presenter: Good afternoon and welcome to Lifestyles. Today we're going to talk about stress — what causes it and what we can do to relax and prevent it. We have in the studio Dr. Klinsmann, an expert on stress. Good morning, Dr. Klins-mann.

Doctor: Good morning.

P: Dr. Klinsmann... er... what kinds of people actually suffer from stress?

P: And what can you do to stop stress and worry? Because stress is very bad for us, isn't it?

D: Yes, it can cause a lot of health problems. But to answer your question, there are lots of things you can do to reduce stress. You can organize your work or studies. For example, you can make a list and do all the important things first. You must eat well — have a good diet — and of course do exercises regularly.

P: Can you describe some of these...
