Are you aware of stress related illnesses?

We know that stress (specifically an increased heart rate and blood pressure) leads to potential heart disease.
But here are some more stress related illnesses:
- memory impairment
- depression
- skin conditions, such as eczema
- difficulty sleeping
- obesity
- digestive problems
- autoimmune diseases
So how does stress put you at higher risk for these conditions? When we're stressed, our bodies get prepared to face any perceived threats. Adrenaline and Cortisol are released in the body, which increases heart rate & blood pressure. When this happens, many of our systems are suppressed: our Immune, Digestive, and Reproductive systems are incredibly important for hormone regulation and overall health.
When we never allow ourselves to relax and end prolonged stress, these systems stop working correctly and producing effectively. That leaves your body susceptible for the above stress related illnesses.
