Chronic stress can affect nearly every organ in our body

Stress is an everyday part of life. If you are suffering from acute or chronic medical conditions there would be some degree of anxiety and stress related to it. Over 75% of our Primary Care doctor visits are due to stress related illness.
Stress can be triggered by events or circumstances in anyone's life such as bereavement, relationship breakdown, financial problems, exams, adverse working conditions, bullying, injury, after giving birth, after an accident, after any trauma, if you are suffering from a chronic painful condition, or any prolonged illness.
Chronic and prolonged stress leads to higher levels of stress hormones which in turn can lead to higher levels of inflammatory cytokines(messenger cells), resulting in chronic inflammation in our body and brain and has the capability of affecting nearly every organ in our body, sometimes leading to Autoimmune Disorders or other stress related illnesses such as heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, paralysis, depression, digestive disorders, skin diseases, cancer and much more, thats why it is important to consult your G.P first to rule out any serious illness or before starting any regime.
Many of us do not associate our symptoms with a response to some ongoing stress in our daily life. That's why it is essential to identify the early signs of stress and do something about it in order to avoid the sometimes devastating but avoidable consequences.
Recent findings confirm that stress is a factor in five out six major cause of death-Heart disease, Stroke, Cancer, Lower respiratory disease, and Accidents.
