So why does stress have such and adverse
effect on health? Experts are still unsure as to the direct reason there are a
few possible links. The first reason is that stressful situations cause blood
pressure to rise. This condition, also called hyper tension, puts more strain on
the entire cardio vascular system including the heart. Also during times of
stress the body produces high levels of adrenaline and cortisol. Both of these
hormones play a vital role in coping with stress but excessive levels adversely
affect blood pressure and can lead to variety of other diseases.
Stress
can also indirectly damage the body by influencing people’s behavioral patterns
which can lead to self destructive behaviors. People’s eating habits often are
affected by stress and individuals may find themselves overeating or not eating
at all. Stress can lead to an increase in alcohol consumption and smoking and a
decrease in exercise. Even though everyone reacts differently to stress the end
result is usually damaging to a persons health.
There are a variety of
ways to reduce stress. Regular exercise is a great way to reduce stress as well
