Signs of stress getting you sick a little bit every day

Stress is one of the enemies that is increasingly endangering not only mental health but also the physical health of many worldwide.

According to a study by Firdaus Dhabhar, professor of psychiatry of Miami University, acute periods of stress, lasting from minutes to several hours, can strengthen the immune system.

However, if stress is chronic and lasts long enough for several weeks, months, or even years, it can cause negative changes in the immune system and other biological functions.

What kind of changes? Chronic stress prevents the immune system from protecting the body from disease and pathogens.

It also negatively affects the function of cells and the development of inflammation.
