Chronic stress silently deteriorates many aspects of your health, including hormone imbalances and modifications to the structure and function of your brain. These changes make it more challenging to cope with daily stress, decrease concentration and memory, and eventually will lead to a mental or brain fog. Other than shrinking brain cells, stress may cause
blood sugar fluctuation, weight gain, weakening of the immune system, high blood pressure and a risk of heart attack, as well as, oxidative stress and acceleration of the aging process.

Amazingly, the effects of stress often go unnoticed until the accumulation manifests as mental or physical exhaustion or burnout. Due to the overall compromised health and chronic disease stress causes, it has often been referred to as "The Silent Killer."
