Stress Management
The effects of stress on women’s health are physical AND emotional.
They often experience menstrual irregularities and sudden hair loss, chronic pain and fatigue. Symptoms can be isolated such as an irregular bowel (IBS), or widespread such as fibromyalgia. Stress can also be seen on the skin, showing up as breakouts, itchy rashes, and hives. Lack of sleep is another powerful side effect of stress. Trouble falling asleep or staying asleep wreak havoc on a women’s emotional state, often causing irritability, difficulty focusing, or in extreme cases, depression. Insomnia can contribute to weight gain and other unhealthy long term effects on the body. Furthermore, stress can negatively affect the entire cardiovascular system and lower the body’s ability to fight off disease.
