What more does Stress do to the Body?

There is little doubt that chronic stress harms the body in multiple ways. To begin with, the ripple effects of stress undermine healthy behaviour.

Chronic stress can take a damaging toll on your mental and physical health and contribute to many serious health conditions. 

Abundant evidence shows that chronic stress chips away at physical health, pushing blood pressure to dizzying heights and harming the heart.

It also plays a role in diabetes, asthma, and gastrointestinal disorders. High levels of stress may even speed up the aging process.

By contrast, people exhibiting less stress tend to be in better health. Stress management can benefit the entire body, right down to your genes.
