Stress: A Hidden Threat to Heart Health

That constant stress you feel isn't just in your head—it's actively damaging your heart.

When you're chronically stressed, your body is flooded with hormones like cortisol.

This spikes your blood pressure over and over, which can lead to permanent hypertension.

It also causes system-wide inflammation, a key factor in heart disease. Plus,

let's be real, stress makes us reach for junk food, skip workouts, and lose sleep—all

things our heart hates. It's a vicious cycle. So next time you feel overwhelmed,

remember it's not just a bad day. It's a health risk. Take that break.
