The Health Hazards Of Stress


With tension on the rise for men and women, tension is taking a physical toll on health. The tension can be released in many unexpected ways!

Stress is a normal physical response to a threat or danger as a protection mechanism. It helps you stay focused, energetic, alert and even save your life in emergency situations.

But your body does not distinguish between your physical and physiological stress! React strongly to an argument with your boss or spouse, job instabilities, an overloaded schedule, or financial difficulties.

If you are feeling overwhelmed with problems, the stress response in your body is to be "ON" all the time and can seriously undermine your physical and emotional wellbeing.

Chronic stress disrupts every system in the body. It weakens the immune system unleashes havoc on sleep patterns and metabolic function, blood pressure and increases the risk of stroke.

Do any of these are common, but you know that stress can cause other physical symptoms? It accelerates the aging process, causes digestive upheaval, and causes teeth grinding and clenching, also known as bruxism.

The grinding and clenching happens for most during sleep, but may also be present during the day. Not fully understand all the causes but stress has been clearly established as an important factor of bruxism.

Stress-induced problems such as bruxism ongoing effects even after the stress has passed. Bruxism can cause serious damage to muscles and nerves in the jaw, and has been identified as an underlying cause of headaches.

The signs and symptoms of bruxism may include:

Squeezing or teeth grinding, which can be quite loud enough to wake your partner

Worn tooth enamel, exposing the inside of your tooth, increased tooth sensitivity

Ear pain due to severe muscle contractions of the jaw

Headache

Chronic facial pain

Chewed tissue on the inside of your cheek

Anxiety, tension.

Your bruxism can cause disruptions of sleep routines, which in turn can affect your metabolism and emotional health, making you gain weight and feel emotionally sensitive or depressed. It's all related!
