Everyone experiences stress.
Because of that, many people consider it unavoidable.
I used to think the same way.
But over time, I noticed physical changes.
Increased hair loss, constant fatigue, and frequent illness.
That’s when I realized how deeply stress affects the body.
Impact of Stress on Health
Stress is not just mental—it affects your hormones.
Cortisol levels increase and keep your body in a constant alert state.
Body Response
The body shifts into survival mode.
Energy is redirected to essential organs.
Hair and immune function become lower priorities.
