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 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 :
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 fro a major purchase 7. Changing schools 8. Change in eating habits 9. Marriage ![]() |
