Impact of Chronic Stress on Physical Health

Chronic unmanaged stress can significantly affect physical health, even for individuals maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine. The brain's perception of stress triggers the release of cortisol, leading to inflammatory processes affecting various systems like cardiovascular, immunity, and gastrointestinal. This stress response can manifest in skin and hair issues, abdominal fat accumulation, sleep disturbances, and digestive problems.
