We all experience stress every day. But the problem is unresolved stress.
The continual activation of the adrenal glands to produce stress hormones becomes a chronic state resulting in reduced immune function. Then certain chemicals are activated to increase inflammation and make us more vulnerable to infection. This can result in auto-immune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. Also, the chemicals in the brain which protect us from the effects of stress are not activated. This can result in us being irritable and irrational and unable to focus well.
These are poor sleep, anxiety, frustration, over-stimulation of the nervous system with too much coffee and alcohol, rushed, irregular meals, deadlines etc. This can result in fatigue, lack of concentration, digestive disturbances, frequent and prolonged infections and skin disorders. The microbiome in our gut which fight infections may also become deranged. If the stress is not resolved, chronic conditions affecting the immune system and hormone production can ensue.
Unresolved stress from past experiences may lead to post-traumatic stress disorder which leads to chronic stress.
