I think living in today’s world, we deal with a lot of stress, which leads to a lot of other health problems. When one is stressed, it does a lot to your body. First, it changes your body.
One is that can make you gain weight. Your body produces chemicals naturally that help you maintain a healthy and balanced lifestyle. But when those chemicals, called adrenaline and cortisol are not right, then you’re not going to digest properly and you will see yourself gaining weight.
It also affects your sleep and your mind. First, you know when you are stressed, you do not sleep as well as you normally would and when you do not sleep, you cannot function throughout the day nor do any of the things you need to get done. Also, stress can lead to more headaches and make you even sick if you are stressed too much.
Then there is the link that one can become depressed and even turn to substances that can have a negative affect on your life. A lot of times, people can become alcoholics as a result of stress.
Stress can also make you develop acne, lose your hair and put certain strains on relationships that you may have.
Stress is not something that should be seen as dealing with because you are an adult and you should be able to handle it. It should be considered something that is a very serious problem and if you do not take care of it, then it can make a bad situation worse.
There are ways of dealing with it, exercising, relaxing or talking with a professional about it. Medical advice does help and it usually can be done without taking a drug to help you. But if you do nothing, something negative probably will happen.
