When you\u2019re stressed over a busy schedule, an argument with a friend, a traffic jam, or a mountain of bills, your body reacts just as strongly as if you were facing a life-or-death situation. If you have a lot of responsibilities and worries, your emergency stress response may be \u201con\u201d most of the time. The more your body\u2019s stress system is activated, the easier it is to trip and the harder it is to shut off.<\/p>\n<p>Long-term exposure to stress can lead to serious health problems. Chronic stress disrupts nearly every system in your body. It can raise blood pressure, suppress the immune system, increase the risk of heart attack and stroke, contribute to infertility, and speed up the aging process. Long-term stress can even rewire the brain, leaving you more vulnerable to anxiety and depression.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a075-90% of primary physician visits are due to stress. &nbsp; Stress is a normal physical response to events that make you feel threatened or upset your balance in some way.
