Can Stress Affect Your Health?
Humans react to external stimuli. When there are physical
changes in the environment, such as changing climatic conditions,
the body responds accordingly. Just as the body responds to
changes in the physical environment, it also responds to the stress
brought about by the changes in life's circumstances. If the
stress is severe, it can eventually lead to illness. Some of
the events that cause stress are listed below:
- Major illness in the family
- Death of a spouse
- Retirement from work
- Child going to college
- Vacations
- Taking out a loan for a major puchase
- Changing schools
- Change in eating habits
- Marriage
