The effects of stress are many, and you can see them in anyone including adults, adolescents, and even children.

Stress is known to bring about both short-term as well as long-term effects on the human body. Hypnotherapy is an effective way to reduce stress.

In today’s world, stress is an undeniable part of anybody’s life. You can define stress as the normal physiological response of the human body to any hostile environment.

The Effects Of Stress Background

Here’s a brief look at the effects of stress on the human body:

1. Short Term:

This is what happens when stress is temporary…

I. Diversion of blood from the rest of the body towards vital organs such as the heart and mind.

II. Increase in heart rate to pump blood efficiently along with an increase in respiratory rate to get more oxygen from the air.

III. Breakdown of glycogen stored in the liver and muscles to produce more glucose.

2. Long Term:

In cases where the stress factor is repetitive or persistent, the body continuously releases stress hormones. This translates into constant high blood pressure levels as well as other functional adjustments. The effects of these hormones can be harmful to the body. They may cause irreversible physiological damage to the brain and other organs.

Other reported effects are decreased sex drive, and aggravation of existing allergies like asthma, heart attack, or stroke because of increased cholesterol.
