Str e ss life events, whether the loss of loved one, divorce or job loss, as well as the daily wear and tear of living, such as traffic jams and family disagreements, set off the release of stress hormones that help our bodies charge up to meet the challenge. During episodes of acute stress, stress hormones provide a protective function by activating the body’s defences. However, when these same protective hormones are produced repeatedly or in excess, because of chronic stress, they create a gradual and steady cascade of harmful physiological changes. High stress can lead to suppression of the immune system which leaves the stressed person open to infection. High stress also result in bone loss, muscular weakness and increased insulin levels that causes higher levels of fat deposits in the body, especially
around the abdomen, so much so that people can end up predisposed to heart disease. Even the brain can be affected, as stress may accelerate changes in the brain that can Lead to memory loss. Off all the things that can be done to lower stress levels, exercise and prudent diet seem to be the most effective. Exercise breaks insulin resistance and often helps to end the vicious cycles of stress-eating, over indulging in alcohol, cigratte smoking and other unhealthy habits. However, exercise will not help everyone with stress, and other factors must be considered. Numerous studies show that the lower down you are on the socio-economic scale, the poorer your health. This is largely independent of access to health care. The stress of living in poverty, or working in a low level job that lacks autonomy, or residing in an unhealthy environment has an enormous impact on health status
