Anxiety in the United States
If you’re like most people, chances are you have a hard time not worrying, at least some of the time. Whether you’re preoccupied with small stuff or you can’t shake the sensation that you’ve left the stove on or the door unlocked when you leave the house, worrying comes in all shapes and sizes. But when it comes to being anxious about things in life, there’s a difference between having a bit of a worrywart streak to having full blown anxiety. Even if you’re not a worrier yourself, chances are you have a friend, family member, or even coworker who struggles with heightened levels of anxiousness—in fact, the US has the highest proportion of chronically anxious people out of any other nation in the world. Despite the fact that, statistically, life in the US should be generally “easier” than life in a majority of other nations, we still worry in much higher numbers than nations whose lives are statistically more difficult. Anxiety can be difficult to recognize, tricky to diagnose, and hard to come to terms with. But despite this, once it’s been diagnosed, anxiety is one of the easiest mental disorders to treat. So why do so many people in the US still suffer from anxiety? The following infographic takes a look at our anxiety epidemic, as well as what treatment can look like.

Quitting smoking is hard–Infographic
Quitting smoking is hard. It's not just hard to quit, though, it's hard to quit healthily and many, many people find that they struggle not just with the cigarettes but with their weight after they quit. Part of it is the much discussed 'oral fixation' part of it is just filling a void created by the changes our body goes through after quitting. The good news is the health benefits of quitting kick in fast with blood pressure falling and lung capacity quickly increasing. The opportunity is there to use those health benefits to exercise more, to enjoy the taste of healthy food more and to move on to a smoke free life. This timeline shows you how quickly some of the benefits kick in and for how long into your life you will continue to benefit more and more from the decision to give up the habit.
