How Stress Affects Your Health
Stress is a common phenomenon for each of us. According to research findings, it leads to adverse health effects
in forty-three percent of all adults.
Stress is actually the reaction of the body to any physical, mental or emotional change. When we face a difficult
physical, mental or emotional situation, the body reacts in certain ways to cope with the situation. We come across
various things and happenings that trigger stress. It often leads to unnatural thinking and behavior. Stress can
have serious effects on your health.
Stress can be positive or negative. In its positive form, stress can help you avoid danger or adjust to difficult
situations by keeping us alert. On the other hand, it can also cause significant damage to your health. Persistent
stress puts much pressure on the body and mind. It can lead to several physical and mental disorders.
We can broadly divide the effects of stress in the following categories:
- Emotional – In its advanced form, stress can turn into distress. Distress disturbs the internal balance of
the body that results in tension, anxiety, anger or depression. It severely affects the physical and mental
health of a person.
- Behavioral – Stress can affect the way we think and behave. It can result in mental fatigue, poor
concentration, decline in memory power, indecisiveness, hopelessness etc. Many times, people try to cope
with stress through negative behavior such as smoking, drinking, gambling etc.
- Physical – Stress can lead to several physical disorders. Researchers have found a connection of stress
with six of the leading causes of death. Those are cancer, heart disease, lung ailments, cirrhosis of the
liver, accidents and suicide.
The simple health effects of stress include faster heart beats, muscle tension, stomach upset etc. However,
stress often goes much beyond that. When it is intense and persistent, a person can experience a score of
serious physical problems.
Immune system – The immune system in the human body works as the natural defense against physical
disorders. Chronic stress affects the immune system severely. It first attacks the immune system at the cellular
level and then affects the overall broader functions of the system. It produces cortisol, a hormone that turns off the
natural defense mechanism of the body. The body loses its natural capacity to prevent physical disorders such as
colds and infections.
Digestive system – Stress also affects the digestive system. It slows down the release of stomach acid and
prevents the stomach emptying itself properly. Stress may lead to the release of certain hormones inside the body
that make the colon work faster. It may result in diarrhea.
Cardiovascular system – Stress can be a cause of heart diseases. It is dangerous for people who already have
heart disease. It increases blood pressure and heart beats. It also affects the cholesterol levels in the body.
Weight – In stress situations, the body releases the cortisol hormone. This hormone increases appetite by
stimulating the fat and carbohydrate metabolism. It often results in an increase in body weight. Increased weight in
the abdominal area raises the risk for diabetes and heart disease. In some situations, stress works other ways
also. Many people lose their appetite because of stress. This results in decrease in the body weight and several
other diseases may become more likely.
Sexual problems – Stress is the cause of many sexual problems. It can ruin the sexual life of a person. Often,
men fail to have an erection because of stress. It can even lead to infertility in both men and women. Because of
stress, women can experience absence of menstruation or abnormal bleeding because of stress. It can also
cause hormonal imbalances resulting in fibroid tumors and endometriosis.
Mental health – Stress messes up the internal balance in the body and mind leading to tension, anxiety, anger or
depression. People in such situations can behave abnormally. There may be mental fatigue, poor concentration,
indecisiveness, hopelessness and a decline in memory power.
Insomnia – Stress keeps the brain active. As a result, people lose sleep. Insomnia is the condition where sleep-
loss becomes a regular affair. Such a condition may be a prelude to several physical and mental disorders.
It is important to avoid stress for a healthy life. The first step in fighting stress is to find out the exact reasons for it.
You should try to understand the situations that give you stress and prepare yourself for those situations. You
should remember that a healthy lifestyle is necessary for tackling stress effectively. Good nutrition, relaxation and
exercise help in keeping stress away. There are many things that you can do to deal with stressful situations.
A doctor can be of great help. A psychologist or a counselor can also help you understand your problems and help
you solve them.
