Impact of STRESS
Stress can have a big impact on our
body, in ways that are felt by just you,
and in way that the world can see. One
of the more visible potential by-

people find themselves to be

problem as well.

continues for a long time, then our body is working
overtime.

are under stress when you are worried about
something, worried about your children, worried
about the illness of your father, worried about your
job security, or worried about your loans or similar
things.

related illness or accidents
