7. You are sick more often
We have already mentioned that stress can weaken the immune system: it does so by releasing hormones that interfere with its normal functioning and cause inflammation and reduced white blood cells. That’s the system responsible for defending the body against bacteria, viruses, and other types of foreign bodies. So, if that protection mechanism against invaders isn’t working properly, your organism will be much more vulnerable, and, as a result, you will certainly get sick more often. _ Let’s be honest. Stress is probably going to be a part of your life(even if only from time to time), and there’s nothing you can do about it. That’s just how it is. But if you learn how to deal and manage stress, it will not interfere with your life and your health as much as it potentially could. Here are some stress relief techniques that might help you manage stress and get you better prepared to cope with stressful situations: – Exercise regularly; – Eat a healthy and balanced diet; – Try yoga and meditation; – Have some time to yourself; – Avoid toxic people; – Learn how to manage your time; If you can’t manage the day-to-day stress alone or if some event has had an impact on you that you’re not able to handle, don’t be ashamed to seek professional help!
