FACTS ABOUT HOW STRESS
AFFECTS YOUR
BODY
STRESS LEADS
TO FATIGUE
51% of people end up feeling fatigued due to anxiety or worry. This can actually create a snowball effect: you feel fatigued, which leads to not performing efficiently at work. You work longer to comensate, you miss a workout or family event and continue the spiral.
STRESS HEADACHES
ARE NO JOKE
44% (almost half) of people experiencing stress end up with a headache. Now, this may seem minor, but like fatigue this can actually affect how you handle your daily workload. Have you ever had a severe headache and tried to do work? Not fun!
STRESS CAUSES
WEIGHT GAIN
Fat storage can also occur during anxious or stressful times. This can correlate to weight gain, especially in the abdominal area. However, exercising a few days a week can help control the weight gain as well as assist in eliminating stress.
STRESS CAN LEAD TO DIGESTIVE ISSUES
Stress can make your digestive system go haywire, causing diarrhea, stomach upset, and excessive urination.
HEIGHTENED STRESS
AFFECTS THE SENSES
Stress can impact the ability to retrieve memories, supressing the connection in the brain that allows you to learn.
FORTUNATELY, THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO COPE WITH STRESS, INCLUDING MASSAGE, MEDITATION, AND EXERCISE.
