Managing stress is crucial for longevity.

Here are three ways stress can negatively affect physical health:
Â
Â
Cardiovascular
Problems: Chronic stress can lead to high blood pressure, heart palpitations, and increased risk of heart disease by causing inflammation and narrowing of the arteries.
Â
Weakened Immune System: Stress reduces the immune system's ability to fight off infections, making the body more susceptible to illnesses like colds, flu, or more severe conditions.
Â
Digestive Issues: Stress can disrupt the digestive system, leading
to problems such as acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or stomach ulcers.
