Are You Chronically Stressed?
Are you feeling stressed?
Well here is the bad news... Everything boils back down to stress in, on and around our bodies- internal and external stress- but how does chronic stress affect your health? 😲
1. Inflammation/Weight Gain: Persistent stress decreases the responsiveness of glucocorticoids which lowers the immune response and cause cause “toxic water weight” from toxin being stored in the body’s adipose tissue or fat cells
2. Digestive Health: Stress negatively impacts digestion, because digestion down regulates when your body is in fight or flight.
3. Immune System: Chronic stress suppresses the immune system, making us more susceptible to infections and illnesses.
4. Heart Health : Prolonged stress raises blood pressure and increases the risk of heart disease and strokes.
5. Mental Health: Long-term stress is linked to depression and anxiety, disrupting our neurotransmitters in our gut aka our second brain.
6. Cellular Aging: Stress accelerates the shortening of telomeres (protective caps on chromosomes), leading to faster cellular aging and age-related diseases.
7. Hormonal Balance : Chronic stress disrupts the endocrine system, as the same precursors that go to producing progesterone go to producing cortisol.
So how do we reverse it?!
