Stress is an inescapable part of the human experience. How we deal with it has a direct influence on the health and appearance of our bodies.
Stress is the body’s natural response to imminent danger and, as such, the effects it has on the body make sense. Increased heart rate, muscle tension, and rapid thoughts can help a person survive a truly harrowing situation. This response is, however, meant to be acute, not persistent. When our bodies are in a constant state of stress, the consequences can be profound.
Stress increases the risks for heart disease, sleep problems, weight gain, concentration difficulties, and memory loss. These things can have a cascading effect, impacting every aspect of life and further exacerbating the problem.
Stress impacts physical health along with the appearance of the skin. High levels of stress have been shown to increase occurrences of:
- Acne
- Dry Skin and Rashes
- Deep Wrinkles
- Puffy/Dark Skin Under Eyes
When stress is tenacious and long-lasting, these issues can become more pronounced, necessitating treatment to correct the damage.
Stress Reduction
Reducing stress is the best way to lessen the risks it poses. This can include:
- Scheduling Downtime
- Maintaining Social and Familial Relationships
- Staying Physically Active
- Eating a Healthy and Well-Balanced Diet
- Avoiding Drugs and Alcohol
If you struggle with stress reduction, consider working with a professional. There are numerous benefits to be found in addressing stress.
