Managing your stress is essential for staying healthy. Chronic stress not only negative effects your mental health, but it can also affect your physical health. Below are some of the ways that stress can be detrimental to your physical health at Aura Spa we offer a variety of Spa treatment packages that can help manage both the causes and the side effects of stress.
Heart Problems
People who are chronically stressed are more likely to develop heart disease. The risk of heart disease is even higher among people who are impatient, hostile and excessively competitive. Many people also turn to comfort foods that are high in sodium, sugar and fat when they are stressed. Those types of foods are not good for the heart.
Skin Problems
Stress can also have a negative effect on your physical appearance. Stress has been shown to aggravate psoriasis, eczema and acne. When you are stressed, your body secretes more cortisol. Cortisol causes your skin to produce more oil, which can worsen acne and other skin problems. Stress can also trigger inflammation, and that can also worsen skin problems.
Fortunately, a facial spa treatment can help treat common skin problems. Facials help increase blood circulation to your skin. This helps supply your skin with more oxygen and nutrients.
High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure, or hypertension typically does not cause any symptoms, but it can lead to heart attack, kidney failure and heart failure if it is not treated. Chronic stress could lead to high blood pressure. That is why if you have had a personal or family history of high blood pressure then you will need to see your doctor regularly so that it can get checked. NYC massage therapy can help lower blood pressure.
Suppressed Immune System
When you are chronically stressed, your immune system is suppressed. This can increase your risk of developing infections. Conditions that suppress the immune system, such as multiple sclerosis, may also be exacerbated by stress.
Pain
Prolonged stress stimulates the muscles. It can also cause you to experience tension in your muscles. This can lead to backaches and other types of muscular pain. Stress can also aggravate conditions that cause pain, such as fibromyalgia and migraines. In fact, many people who suffer from migraines have stated stress is one of the major factors that contributes to their headaches.
Stress can also increase your sensitivity to pain. Additionally, chronic stress can increase your chances of suffering from a condition that causes chronic pain. NYC massage therapy is very effective for alleviating pain and muscle tension.
