Chemical Effects of Fear on Disease:
1. Fear activates the amygdala — body shifts to survival mode.
2. Adrenaline rises → heart rate & BP increase.
3. Cortisol increases → long-term stress hormone overload.
4. Immunity weakens (low NK cells).
5. Inflammation increases (IL-6, TNF-alpha).
6. Blood sugar rises → insulin resistance risk.
7. Thyroid function can slow down.
8. Gut rhythm gets disturbed (IBS, acidity, bloating).
9. Sleep cycle disrupts → poor repair & healing.
10. Oxidative stress increases → faster ageing.
11. Hormonal imbalance begins silently.
12. Chronic fear = chronic disease environment.
