How does stress have an adverse effect on health?  Experts are still unsure as to the direct reason there are a few possible links.  The first reason is that stressful situations cause blood pressure to rise.  This condition, also called hyper tension, puts extra strain on the entire cardio vascular system including the heart.  Also during times of stress the body produces high levels of adrenaline and cortisol.  Both of these hormones play a vital role in coping with stress but excessive levels adversely affect blood pressure and can lead to variety of cardio vascular diseases.

Stress can also indirectly damage the body by influencing people’s behavioral patterns which can lead to self destructive behaviors.  People’s eating habits are often affected by stress.  Individuals may find themselves overeating or not eating at all.  Stress also can lead to an increase in alcohol consumption and smoking and a decrease in exercise.  Even though everyone reacts differently to stress the end result is usually damaging to peoples health.

There are a variety of ways to reduce stress.  Regular exercise is a great way to reduce stress as well as improve your body’s health.  Another great defense is learning to stay positive.  Negativity creates extra stress that with the right attitude can be avoided.  Stress can also be reduced through meditation, yoga and massage.   These techniques are excellent at relaxing the mind and improving the body.  

Massage is a great way to increase blood circulation and reduce blood pressure.  It helps to flush harmful toxins from your body and reduce cardio vascular strain.  Besides having a positive physical impact on your body massage is a great way to allow your mind to relax and increase the levels of endorphins (the feel good hormones) in your brain.  This combination of physical and mental relief can drastically reduce stress levels.
