Chronic Stress can Lowered Body Defences

Study after study has shown that chronic stress can severely dampen your immune system, making you more vulnerable to colds and infections.


As your immune system helps your body to detect and fight cancer, reduced immune function can compromise your ability to fight off diseases, putting you at greater risk of catching an infectious disease, or even developing cancer!

Stress can Accelerated Ageing

Chronic stress and lack of qaulity sleep can accelerate the ageing process, and cause premature ageing. When you don't get enough sleep, your brain doesn't make the normal amounts of the anti-ageing hormones, melatonin and hGH and you start to show signs of premature ageing (low energy levels, premature greying, slow hair and nail growth, etc)

Sleepless Nights and Lack of Quality Sleep

Stress can cause you to have problems falling asleep, wake you up in the middle of the night, or prevent you from enjoying a deep restful sleep. Prolonged disturbed sleep can cause "insulin resistance", encouraging the body to store fat, increasing the risk of obesity.

A good night's rest is important not only for your waistline, but also for your skin, health, work performance and sanity.

It's during sleep that your body and mind rest, and rejuvenate themselves. Lack of sleep can dull the mind, cause foggy thinking and poor concentration. It's common to make more mistakes, and to behave more hastily when you lack of quality sleep.

Stress and Hair Problems

When you are stressed, your body produces more DHT which causes enlargement of sebaceous glands on the scalp, and overproduction of sebum. DHT is the main culprit behind hair loss or androgenic alopecia in both men and women. Stress retards hair re-growth, and also causes hair to move from its usual healthy growth phase into a 3-month resting phase, after which it falls out.
