Eat healthy. Exercise. Drink water. Take breaks. Leading a healthy lifestyle is easy in theory, but without a good night’s sleep, nothing else matters. Overwhelmed stress often impacts on sleep quality and duration. It doesn’t matter how healthy you eat, how much you exercise, how much water you drink, or how well you master the work-life balance. If stress and anxiety are keeping you from slipping into slumber at night, your health could take a heavier long-term hit than you ever thought possible. Yes, work is unavoidable – but there needs to be a line you can cross when you slip under the covers each night, leaving the world of stress behind and drifting into much quality sleep.
The “fight or flight” stress response is a survival mechanism as old as humanity. While the response originally emerged as a way for us to defend ourselves against dangerous animals, today’s predators (stress, anxiety, and more) mean the fight or flight response is still very much alive in today’s generation. More alarmingly, today’s stressors are much more chronic when compared to the short-term threat of a beast millennia ago.
Stress is a response to adverse and challenging circumstances and a response to daily life. The right amount of stress can be a positive force that helps us to do our best and to keep alert and energetic. While certain stress is normal and critical to our well-being, we are dealing with unnatural stress that can lead to serious physical and mental health problems if left untreated. Here are harmful effects of stress on the body and ways in which chronic stress can lead to health problems.
