Stress: We’ve all felt it. Sometimes stress can be a positive force, motivating you to perform well for your exams or job interview. But often — like when you’re rushing a project deadline — it can be a negative force. If you experience stress over a prolonged period of time, take action before it becomes chronic. Multiple studies have shown that emotional stress — especially anger — can trigger heart attacks, arrhythmias and even cause sudden cardiac death. Some people don’t know they have a problem until acute stress cause a heart attack or something worse. When stress starts affecting your ability to lead a normal life for an extended period, it becomes dangerous. The longer the stress lasts, the worse it is for both your mind and body. You might feel fatigued, unable to concentrate or irritable for no good reason.
Stress-management strategies are critical in maintaining wellness and disease prevention. You should consider supplementing your diet with specific vitamins and minerals, such as Vitamin B-Complex, Vitamin C and Magnesium. These supplements may be effective in reducing stress, helping you to feel calmer and more in control. Reducing your stress levels can protect your health long-term and make you feel better.
