A little bit of stress is actually good for example for your immune system, but too much stress over a long period of time, can actually suppress your body's defence system.
Do you suffer from recurring headaches, sore muscles or chest pain? Your body may be telling you that you are stressed or depressed.
What are the symptoms of stress? And how does it affect your body? We take a closer look. Acute stress reactions do the following with our body:
· Fast beating, racing heart, often palpable
· Blood pressure soars
· Fast racing breath
· Digestion slows down
· Sweaty palms. Stress causes extreme heat in the body.
· Dry mouth
· Muscles tense
· Blood clots faster
· Glucose and fats pour into the blood to provide energy for all the action taking place inside the body
· Rushing thoughts
· Irrational fears and anxiety
Even if we stay only in a mild stress state over time this can cause:
· High blood pressure
· Heart disease
· Allergies, hives, hay fever
· Asthma
· Migraines
· Irritable bowel syndrome
· Eczema
· Psoriasis
Think of your heart, your immune system and your whole body and select a break today.
