All muscles are effected by the production of stress chemicals & most of us tend to produce stress chemicals all day long.

Then there is the issue of what we are not eating or drinking. Add to this, the stress of everyday living & the anticipation or pre-programming of gastro-intestinal upsets & we get what we don’t want, for this is the way the mind & body work together.
