How to Combat & Effects of Stress

Has stress taken its toll on your health?

The cumulative effects of chronic stress creeps up on you slowly but surely.

But trust me eventually the toll that chronic stress takes on your health adds up drastically and will and does take years off your life!

Stress impacts almost every system in your body. Stress can cause the body to produce high levels of adrenaline (as well as other hormones) and in turn, heart rate and respiration increases. Glucose in the blood rises as the body prepares for the well-known “fight or flight” reaction.

The human body was never meant to live in chronic state of “fight or flight” because it can cause widespread damage. Potential health risks associated with stress range from heart disease and stroke to diabetes and obesity.
