As the COVID-19 pandemic eases, things are getting back to normal like going back to office, having face to face classes, allowing seniors and minors going into public places. This only means that stressful days cause by heavy traffic and no parking spaces are back again. To mention as well the price hike of gas and other basic needs can add stress to a lot of people emotionally, mentally, financially and even physically. Stress can lead to health problems, so it is important that we know and need to manage our stress well.
Stress is a normal part of life, it can either be acute (immediate) or chronic (long-lasting). The release of different “stress hormones” such as cortisol and adrenaline help us out of dangerous situations. If we are stressed every day, our health could end up in trouble. Signs of stress are
irritability, anxious moods, overeating or undereating, and is prone to sickness like flu. Dr. Roel Tolentino, a surgical oncologist at St. Luke’s Medical Center and a personal development coach, said that large amounts of cortisol from too much stress can cause many health problems like high blood sugar, inflamed blood vessels and even unhealthy weight gain. Greater risk to health of stress are heart disease, diabets and kidney problems.
Knowing all these bad effects of stress to our health, it is much better for us to have proper stress management than fighting it off or avoiding it. There are healthy ways of coping up stress like relaxing while spending precious time with your loved ones, indulging into your hobbies, catching up some sleep so that your body can feel refresh and recharge your energy. If you feel like your stress is too much to handle, seek counceling from experts or stress counselor. They can help you offload from it and find specific solutions to the cause of your stress.
