Homepage		 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 change in the physical environment, it also responds to stress brought about by changes in life's circumstances.  If the stress is severe, it can eventually lead to illness.  Some of the events that can cause stress are listed below:
  1. Major illness in the family
  2. Death of a spouse
  3. Retirement from work
  4. Child going to college
  5. Vacations
  6. Taking out a loan for a major purchase
  7. Changing schools
  8. Change in eating habits
  9. Marriage
