Stress is a natural part of life, but it can become a serious challenge, especially when it persists over time. While short-term stress may offer some psychological and physical benefits, ongoing or chronic stress has been linked to a range of negative health effects, including:

• Worsening of cognitive disorders

• Changes to brain structure

• Contribution to brain atrophy

• Impaired memory function

• Reduced learning ability

• Suppressed immune system function

• Higher risk of cardiovascular disease

• Disruption of healthy digestive processes

• Negative effects on endocrine system function
