According to the doctor, cardiac research shows that constant stress can lead to increased blood pressure
The modern pace of life is filled with stress, which can negatively affect our heart. You should be aware of how stress can worsen your health. This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to the Instagram of cardiologist Natalya Ivanyuk.
How stress harms the heart
According to the doctor, cardiac research shows that chronic stress can lead to an increase in blood pressure, heart rate and affect other parameters that are important for heart health.
Stress activates the production of adrenaline and cortisol. This can lead to a feeling of tension and increased stress on the heart.
Increased blood pressure levels can in turn lead to hypertension, which is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
Therefore, it is important for people at risk to find ways to effectively manage stress.
What to do to stay healthy
Regular exercise, relaxation techniques, and a balanced diet will help protect your mental state. It’s important to take care of yourself and not let external triggers stress you out.
Friends and family members should always be there for you during difficult times in your life. Be with those people who will give you the strength to keep moving forward when life becomes too much of a burden. From the support of your family and friends, you will feel a huge surge of energy and positive thoughts.
Even in the toughest times, a laugh or a simple smile will make you feel much better. Laughter releases endorphins (happy hormones), which naturally reduce stress levels and help you relax. When you feel that your psychological state is approaching a nervous breakdown, then perhaps the best medicine for you will be a good dose of laughter.
Our behavior and our lifestyle also influence the occurrence of stress. They do not always become the direct cause of stress, but they affect the resistance of our body, body and psyche to stress.
