WORRY: IT’S EFFECT ON HEALTH
Hello and a good day to every great member of this great community. Am so happy to share with you all the health effects of worry.
I want you to sit back and go through it and for sure you will get one thing out of it as well.
Worry is a disquieting thought, fear, anxiety about known realities (actual challenges) and unknown future realities (potential challenges).
It Is deadly and has nothing positive to offer its victims other than to load them with distress, disability and diseases.
Worry wreaks havoc on your health. When you worry, you feel a rush of adrenaline; your heart rate and blood level go up.
This is often known as the fight and flight response. This response is the body’s reaction to the danger either to fight or to run away.
When this is activated, the body releases some stress hormones from the brain.
This hormones bring about different reactions that prepare the body for action. One of such hormone is Cortisol.
It is one important hormone that helps the body in regulating and modulating many of the changes that occur in the body in response to stress.
But it’s long-term release has negative effects that disrupt your body ’s processes and puts you at increased risk of numerous health problems.
It opens your body to virus and bacterial attacks since the immune-system-the defense system-has been weakened.
It could also lead to digestive problems, heart diseases, infertility and miscarriages since the immune and reproductive processes have been either shut down or disrupted.
Another hormone very similar to cortisol is the adrenaline. This is also a stress (worry) hormone that helps you to fight or flee danger.
But it is unswervingly toxic to the brain cells and the immune system as well.
Adrenaline, when released in excess can cause health problems like increased heart-beat, loss of concentration, excessive sweating, dizziness, headache and weight loss.
In addition, worry makes the liver to produce excess cholesterol, which causes serious health issues like heart attack and stroke.
Gastric acid which causes ulcer and constipation are also increased when you worry. Worrying is a choice.
So choose not to worry today by trying to be happy at all times and casting all your cares on God. For he surely cares for you.
Good day to you all!!
