Consequences of Stress


11 years ago 0 11212 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
We’ve talked about anger, stress and disputes. We will now be discussing specific stress management strategies in a variety of settings & contexts.

Learning stress management skills is part of having a healthy lifestyle. It is just as important as learning how to eat well.  Exposure to stress over long periods of time has been linked to the development of:

•    Frequent headaches
•    Upset stomach
•    Diarrhea or constipation
•    Lowered immune system
•    Disturbed sleeping patterns
•    High blood sugar
•    High blood pressure
•    Increased cholesterol

Does this sound familiar to anyone? How do you feel or know when your stressed?
