Stress and Health

Stress can lead to illnesses like headaches, and it can make you more vulnerable to disease. When your body is aroused to fight against a stressor, it uses energy that it might otherwise use to fight illnesses or repair tissue, leading to stress-related vulnerability. This makes a person less likely to be healthy. So while stress itself does not cause illness, it does often make people more likely to become ill.

While it's impossible to eliminate stressors from life, it is possible to choose healthy responses to stress in order to avoid many of the health consequences of extreme, prolonged stress.
