Chronic stress is not age governed, especially in the modern society where pressures are felt by all age groups in school, home and work environments.  At a very young age, children are thrown into situations that become a hindrance in their natural growth.

While some stress may simply act as drivers to propel people in the right direction to complete projects with deadlines, constant stress can be harmful to the naturally functioning human systems. Serious health conditions may arise and including depression, anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, migraines and headaches, hypertension, ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, muscle pain, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, heart disease, obesity, and a weakened immune system leading to more diseases.

Reach out, for help is available; and do not worry, for all is possible in baby steps without being overwhelmed. All you need is an intense desire to be better in your health and the very first action step: reaching out for help. ~ Umang Goel
