Stress and Cardiovascular Health
Stress’s Toll on the Heart
Stress, especially when chronic, can lead to high blood pressure, increased heart rate, and a higher risk of heart disease. In the U.S., heart-related issues due to stress are a growing concern. The body’s “fight or flight” response releases stress hormones like adrenaline, which put extra strain on the heart.
Managing stress through relaxation, regular exercise, and a balanced diet is crucial for maintaining heart health. Taking time to relax helps keep your heart strong and healthy.
