Unmasking the Silent Killer: How Stress Devastates Your Health

• Stress, often dismissed as normal, is a root cause of numerous diseases, severely impacting physical and mental health.
• Prolonged stress can lead to severe mental health issues like anxiety, depression, irritability, insomnia, and difficulty concentrating, potentially escalating to suicidal thoughts.
• Stress directly affects heart health by increasing cortisol and adrenaline, raising blood pressure and heart rate, and increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke.
• The digestive system is also vulnerable, with stress causing gas, acidity, constipation, diarrhea, and irritable bowel syndrome by disrupting digestive enzymes.
• Chronic stress weakens the immune system, causes headaches, muscle pain, fatigue, hormonal imbalances, and exacerbates existing diseases, making stress management crucial.
