In today’s fast-paced world, stress has become an inevitable part of life, affecting both our mental and physical well-being.
From work demands to personal responsibilities, managing stress effectively is crucial to maintaining a healthy balance.
While stress is a natural response to challenges, prolonged exposure can take a toll on our health if not properly addressed.
Healthline, Better Up, and several other health-related websites stated that the good news is that there are practical, simple techniques to help you regain control and restore calm.
“Unmanaged stress can have serious consequences for both your physical and mental health. When stress becomes chronic, it triggers the body’s “fight or flight” response, which increases the production of stress hormones like cortisol.
“Over time, elevated cortisol levels can lead to a weakened immune system, high blood pressure, and an increased risk of heart disease.
“Mentally, stress can contribute to anxiety, depression, and burnout, negatively affecting focus, decision-making, and overall well-being.
“If left unchecked, stress can even manifest physically through headaches, digestive issues, and sleep disturbances, making it essential to address it before it spirals out of control,” a medical expert, Grace Abifarin, told PUNCH Online in a chat on Friday.
These strategies help manage stress effectively and promote a balanced lifestyle.
