If your life is burdened with stress that’s related to work, home, financial problems, or relationships, you’re putting your health at risk. Stress can take a major toll on your emotional, mental, and physical well-being. And if you don’t do something about it quickly, it can wreak havoc on your ability to act rationally, make informed decisions, think clearly, and enjoy life.

Maybe, you can’t do anything about the source of your stress, maybe you can’t escape your financial problems, maybe you can’t bring back the person you loved, and maybe you can’t make your terminal illness go away—but, you can always:

• practice stress management,
• avoid people who give you stress,
• learn to say no
• learn how to express your feelings and emotions if something or someone is bothering you
• practice gratitude to appreciate all the positive people and things in your life
• learn to let go of grudges
• consider seeking hypnosis in Rochester, NY
• practice an active lifestyle—dance to your favorite songs, go out for a walk with your pet, exercise regularly, get good sleep, and a lot more.

But the question remains: why is stress management so necessary? Here are some reasons why!

Stress Can Lead to Several Health Conditions

When you’re stressed, your brain releases chemicals (neurotransmitters), such as epinephrine, dopamine, and norepinephrine, and undergoes physical changes that can affect how you function, think, memorize, and process things.

The high levels of the released neurotransmitters give rise to adrenaline production, which is a fight-or-flight hormone. High levels of these chemicals affect your physical health in several ways. For instance, it may increase your heart rate, blood pressure (hypertension) and weaken your immune system. If the treatment is delayed, all of these acute physical conditions can take the form of serious chronic health conditions, such as a stroke, ulcers, cardiac disorders, impotence, diabetes, and a reduced sex drive.

Stress can also lead to eating disorders, such as bulimia nervosa, anorexia, binge eating, and others, leading to other health problems.
