dont hold your stress

Описание: “Don’t hold on to stress – Release it.” 🌿

Stress is not only a mental wound; it also breaks down your body. Holding on to it silently causes hidden damage inside.

We all face stress—sometimes short-term, sometimes long-term.
👉 Short-term stress can help protect the body.
👉 But long-term stress harms both mind and body.

When you keep stress “inside,” without sharing, without releasing, science shows it can contribute to many illnesses.

🔬 The Science of Stress

🌻 Stress hormones – During stress, hormones like cortisol and adrenaline rise.

Heart rate increases, blood vessels constrict, and blood pressure rises.

Long-term → Hypertension, heart disease, blood clot risk.

🌻 Immune system – Constantly high stress hormones weaken immunity.

You become more vulnerable to infections and chronic illnesses.

🌻 Blood sugar – Cortisol increases glucose production and reduces insulin sensitivity.

Long-term stress raises the risk of diabetes.

For existing diabetics → sugar levels stay uncontrolled.

🌻 Muscles & joints – Stress causes chronic tightness in the neck, shoulders, back, arms, and legs.

This leads to pain, stiffness, headaches, and mobility issues.

👉 Stress doesn’t just affect your mind—it affects your whole body.

🩺 Real-life patient cases

💥 Hypertension – A patient under constant stress due to marital issues had BP 160/100 mmHg, uncontrolled even with medication.

💥 Diabetes – A patient with normally controlled sugar experienced spikes to 250mg/dl during family conflicts.

💥 Cancer – Stress is not a direct cause, but research shows long-term stress weakens the immune system, supporting cancer progression.
