Stress is universal. Everyone experiences stress, but we all experience it differently. Stress can have many physical symptoms and cause long term problems.
Stress is more than just mental. Stress can lead to serious health complications. Chronic stress over time has been linked to all five risk factors for heart disease. It can also lead to impaired memory and concentration, weight gain, and sleep issues.
