The Impact of Cortisol and Stress
High cortisol levels due to prolonged stress can have detrimental effects on the body and mind. When cortisol levels remain elevated over time, individuals experience increased tension, decreased job satisfaction, and disrupted sleep patterns. This chronic stress can lead to unpleasant behavioral changes, such as increased aggression and irritability. Therefore, managing stress effectively and creating regular moments of peace during the day are essential to overall well-being.
