Stress is a requirement for mental and physical endurance. Especially for men, there is always psychological pressure in their careers, families, interpersonal relationships, emotions, and lives. Psychological pressure plays a role as a "silent killer" in people's lives. If a person's spirit and body can accept the challenge of pressure, then pressure is welcome, beneficial, and harmless. When things reach their limits, they will inevitably reverse. Excessive stress (i.e. when demands exceed endurance) can greatly harm physical and mental health. Generally speaking, the manifestations and hazards of high pressure include the following:
Firstly, in terms of physiology: palpitations and chest pain, headaches, cold or sweaty palms, digestive system problems (such as stomach discomfort, diarrhea, etc.), nausea or vomiting, decreased immunity, etc;
Secondly, in terms of emotions, irritability, impatience, anxiety, nervousness, apathy, anxiety, and breakdown;
Thirdly, in terms of behavior: insomnia, excessive smoking and drinking, procrastination, being late and absent, stopping entertainment, overeating or anorexia, taking sedatives, etc;
Fourthly, in terms of mental state: difficulty concentrating, decreased expression ability, memory, and judgment, persistent negative attitudes towards oneself and the surrounding environment, indecisiveness, etc.
Psychological stress leads to skin "injury"
You may not know the level of psychological stress you are experiencing, but your skin can clearly tell you because the human skin tissue and the central nervous system have the same embryonic tissue. So, pay attention to your skin and you will understand yourself.
Herpes: Psychological stress reduces the body's resistance, making the immune system's defense less secure. If you have herpes bacteria, you are likely to be infected with blisters and genital herpes.
Wrinkles: Anxiety consumes many nutrients required for life activities, slowing down cell activity and metabolic rate, resulting in dull and inelastic skin, making wrinkles more easily visible. Sometimes, frowning and muscle tension under psychological stress can also accelerate the generation of wrinkles.
Acne: Psychological pressure promotes the activity of the sebaceous glands, causing the skin to produce oil and promoting the production of acne.
Weight loss or gain: Psychological stress can change your appetite. Under psychological stress, some people may gain weight while others may lose weight.
Eczema: Psychological stress itself does not cause skin dryness or detachment, but it can exacerbate existing symptoms. For example, sweating under psychological pressure not only worsens eczema, but also leads to peeling, pus discharge, redness, and itching, sometimes spreading to larger areas on the skin surface.
Hair loss: People with mental trauma may experience black hair loss due to increased hormones and problems in blood circulation. Only when the psychological stress level returns to normal will hair regrow.
Medical research has shown that many cancers and sudden deaths are related to excessive stress, indicating that long-term exposure to excessive stress poses a significant threat to human health and seriously affects human life and lifespan. It is urgent to alleviate human stress, and we call on people to pay attention to the harm that stress brings us, reduce stress, and protect our health.
