Stress is a common part of most people's everyday lives. Whether through work, school, family, friends, finances, or health, we all feel pressure at times. But when you're raising children or caring for elderly or disabled family members, that stress can be constant.

Even when it feels like we're too busy with other priorities, it's important to pay attention to the ways stress impacts your body and mind. Chronic (meaning persistent or recurring) stress can cause severe physical and mental health issues!

Stress and Life Expectancy

The impacts of chronic, high stress levels can be severe. In fact, a study by the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare showed that, for the average 30 year-old, heavy stress reduced life expectancy by an average of 2.8 years for men and 2.3 years for women.
