Causes and Effect of Chronic Stress

Stress in everyday life may come from internal emotional circumstances, environmental demands and dangers, health issues that overtax the body -- or all of the above. Your body has a "fight or flight" response in which cortisol and adrenaline are released into the bloodstream in time of crisis. These stress hormones give you the ability to react with lightning speed. Unfortunately, this response may occur regardless of whether the danger is truly life or death. Modern life is filled with potential stress triggers which may keep your body in a constant state of alert.

Chronic stress has some serious effects on the body, and these effects can then feed back into the cycle of chronic stress. For example, constant muscle tension can cause a musculoskeletal misalignment. This misalignment may then impair nerve function, which only causes pain but may also force your hormonal balances and stress responses to go even more out of control. Long-term stress is associated with poor immune response, hypertension, heart attack, obesity, gastrointestinal problems, hair loss, and other health issues.
