Adrenaline and cortisol are vital to your existence if you find yourself in a life-threatening situation.

But long-term, they can have some not-so-great effects on your health.

First, let's talk about adrenaline.
This chemical can damage your blood vessels.

The damage can become a serious problem because it can increase the chances of having a heart attack or stroke.

Now, let's move on to cortisol.

This chemical can affect a crucial part of the brain called the hippocampus.
The hippocampus plays a key role in learning and memory.

When cortisol damages the cells in the hippocampus, it can make it harder for you to learn new things and remember important information.

So, chronic stress can really dampen your ability to learn and remember things effectively.

It's so important to find healthy ways to manage stress to protect your blood vessels and keep your heart and brain healthy.
