Health and stress, a complicated relationship!
Stress has evolved to become the main cause of many serious diseases nowadays. It is often referred to as the “disease of the century” because of its devastating effect on health. Indeed, in order to cope with certain events, the body creates a reaction that results in anxiety and stress. This response can have several harmful consequences: fatigue, anxiety, irritability, a weakened or failing immune system and chronic diseases such as rheumatism or skin conditions. It is therefore essential to fight stress and thus avoid its consequences. Generally speaking, the best remedies for stress are a balanced diet, regular physical activity and good sleep.
In general, we live in an environment with a high potential for stress, pollution and bad eating habits. All these elements are dangerous for our health. To avoid serious and less serious illnesses, from heart problems to hair loss, it is very important to watch one’s diet, to avoid industrial food products such as refined sugar, to listen to one’s body and mind by favouring a relaxing physical activity, a balanced and restorative sleep and a better resistance to stress.
