Why Stress Is So Bad – Problem #1

Chronic, unmanaged stress from work, school, financial problems, and illness itself compromises the proper functioning of disease-fighting white blood cells, which monitor abnormal cell development and marshal attacks against invading organisms. When the immune system is weak, this abnormal cell growth can occur with little to keep it in check. It is believed that some cancers result from this process.

Why Stress Is So Bad – Problem #2

Constant stress produced by hostile feelings, anxiety, long hours, poor sleep, etc., contributes to cardiovascular disease by slowly creating fissures in arteries that carry blood to the heart. Over time, these ruts are filled in with cholesterol, which can build up to restrict, and even cut off, blood flow and harden (reduce elasticity) arteries. These conditions can lead to heart attacks and strokes.

” …in short, intense, constant stress can kill you.” – Maria Simonson, Ph.D.
