Ok, so we’ve established what stress is and what physical changes occur in your body during high stress levels, but is it really that important to control it? I mean we have better things to do then stress over our stress, right? The answer is YES, it is very important to maintain your levels of stress. Many of you probably already know that stress can lead to stomach ulcers and mental health problems such as, anxiety and depression, but here are some other effects you might not have know:
-Heart Disease: When our heart rate and blood pressure rise, it creates tension on our arteries which cause them to be harmed and damaged. During its recovery, artery walls scar and thicken which decreases blood supply and oxygen to the heart, and you what can happen then…a heart attack!
-Stress also weakens your immune system, which is your body’s defense system against bacteria and diseases. When this happens, your body is more prone to catching diseases and your body is helpless in fighting it off. Immune deficiency can also lead to arthritis, headaches and who knew, CANCER!
Although it seems impossible sometimes to take care of yourself, and keep your stress level to a minimum, with a little help and guidance from me, you will be on your way to a stress free lifestyle… at no charge!
The next topics I’ll cover finally, are ways to reduce stress.
