Stress and Health--How are they Related?

Woman smiling with good healthStress and your Health

Modern life is stressful.

Cell phones everywhere, long commutes, dozens of after-school activities, caring for parents, jobs, bills... The list is long.

The list is so long that we have begun to think that stress is normal.  Stress is acceptable.  And we should all cope with stress valiantly.

In fact, people who refuse work because they are "too busy" are sometimes viewed as lazy.

But do our bodies agree with this social norm?

The evidence says, "NO".  Stress takes its toll.  High stress and good health do not usually exist hand in hand.

Conditions often linked with stress:

  • Heart disease, high blood pressure, strokes and other circulatory problems
  • Gastrointestinal problems including constipation, diarrhea, gas, bloating and weight-gain or loss
  • Immune system suppression
  • Skin conditions
  • Conditions associated with inflammation
  • Low libido
  • Headaches
  • Back aches
Too often we let stress run rampant and don't address the toll on our body until it is very late.

Find out how stress and health are linked and natural ways to prevent illness.
