How to Avoid Stress & Anxiety

In daily life, stress and anxiety can be overwhelming, causing damage to emotional and physical well-being. Individuals react differently to stress triggers in their environment, but regardless of what causes a person stress, negative affects on the body may cause harm. It is important to try to avoid getting stressed out, because not all symptoms are noticeable to an individual and may cause unexpected harm later in life, like heart attack or stroke. Increased adrenaline, slower digestion, elevated blood pressure or heart rate are dangerous symptoms of stress and anxiety.
