The ability to handle stress varies from one person to another, yet this condition, which in general terms means pressure or nervous tension, can have harmful consequences for health.
Stress is also the result of overeating or a sedentary life, past experiences such as abuse, abandonment, a difficult childhood, which keep worsening the situation as long as these memories and habits are not addressed in time.The reaction of stress in our body
According to science, our body goes through a process called allostasis: the way we react to stress in a classification of short, medium and long term. As short-term stress is not addressed, it becomes acute stress, causing hormones to increase their concentration, reaction capacity and strength, and likewise, the heart shows an increase in blood pressure and memory deteriorates.
However, when short-term stress is not overcome, it moves to the next stage, medium and long term, in which the body keeps releasing stress hormones and there is no turning back; that is where illness appears and side effects begin to show.
At this stage we can notice that:
- The immune system weakens, which makes the person more vulnerable to colds and/or infections.
- Heart rate increases, there is more fat in the blood, elevated glucose levels, determining factors for the development of heart disease.
- Increased appetite, which brings a possible diabetes or excess weight.
- And finally, depression, anxiety, lack of sleep and a sedentary lifestyle develop.
