Dangers of Stress

Recent research suggests that anywhere from 60 to 90 percent of illness is stress-related.

Stress is a normal part of life. When your feet hit the floor in the morning, stress starts. That is expected because your body is no longer in the rest phase. However, there is a level when stress can become deadly.

Stress is your body’s way of responding to any kind of demand, be it physical, mental, or emotional. It can be caused by both good and bad experiences. When people experience stress by something going on around them, their bodies react by releasing chemicals into the blood. These chemicals give people more energy and strength, which can be a good thing if their stress is caused by physical danger. But this can also be a bad thing, if their stress is in response to something emotional or mental and there is no outlet for this extra energy and strength.

Although some stress is good this is not true in most cases.

There are different types of stress like survival stress where you are in a “fight or flight” situation and have to respond to potential danger. Then there is internal stress where you worry so much that you cause more stress on your body than need be. This often happens when we worry about things we can’t control or put ourselves in situations we know will cause us stress. You also have Environmental Stress where your body response to things around you that cause stress, such as noise, crowding, and pressure from work or family. And finally you have stress that comes from being Fatigued and Overworked.

Fatigue and Overworked Stress builds up over a long time and can take a hard toll on your body. It can be caused by working too much or too hard or by not knowing how to manage your time well or how to take time out for rest and relaxation.

People under large amounts of stress can become tired, sick, and unable to concentrate or think clearly. Sometimes, they even suffer mental breakdowns.

If you are suffering from extreme stress or long-term stress, your body will eventually wear itself down. You will find that many illnesses that have a direct correlation with stress. Such as…

• Chronic pain
• Migraines
• Ulcers
• Heartburn
• Heart disease
• Diabetes
• Asthma
• PMS
• Obesity
• Infertility
• Autoimmune diseases
• Irritable bowel syndrome
• Skin problems
• High blood pressure

Understanding your stress level is important. There is a delicate balance to this stress being good or bad. If nothing in your life causes you any stress or excitement, you may become bored or may not be living up to your potential. If you have no passion, drive, or determination, which all cause a lever of stress you may be living without purpose. On-the-other-hand, if everything in your life, or large portions of your life, cause you stress, you may experience health or mental problems that will make your behavior worse.
