Stress is a natural response to the demands and challenges we face in daily life. In the short term, stress can help us focus and perform better. However, when stress becomes a constant presence, it can have significant negative effects on our health.

How Stress Affects the Body:
-Hormonal Changes: Under stress, the body releases the hormone cortisol, which helps respond to challenges. However, a prolonged increase in cortisol levels can weaken the immune system and promote inflammation in the body.

-Cardiovascular system: Chronic stress increases the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke, as it raises both blood pressure and heart rate.

-Digestion: Stress negatively affects the digestive system, leading to stomach discomfort, irritable bowel syndrome, indigestion, and even chronic inflammation.

-Mental health: Ongoing stress often leads to anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders. The constant tension and overload can impact emotional well-being.

By taking care of yourself and actively managing stress, you can minimize its negative effects on your body and improve your overall well-being.
