The effect of stress on our appearance

There is a direct link between the psycho-emotional state and human health, so all our experiences negatively affect the beauty and youth of the body. Constant stress does not change our appearance for the better. Fatigue, bags, bruises under the eyes, irritability, pale skin, and brittle hair are the first signs of chronic stress.

When you look at a middle-aged person, you can easily tell how stressful his life is. Of course, there are many cosmetic ways to improve the condition of the skin and hair, but only the ability to withstand stress will help maintain their natural health. In a stressful situation, the central nervous system issues an alarm, after which the mobilization of the body's protective functions begins. Under stress, hormone secretion simply overturns. There is a real hormonal storm in the body, while stress hormones are released intensively, which affect the functioning of vital organs and systems. First, the endocrine system, which regulates all metabolic processes to ensure physical and mental health, suffers. The production of cortisol, known as the 'stress hormone', increases under constant stress. Scientific studies confirm that elevated cortisol levels promote the rapid accumulation of fat in the organs and lead to dehydration of the skin. There are problems with digestion, mood swings. One of the stress hormones is adrenaline, which temporarily blocks the flow of blood into the tissues of the organs, while the cells are fasting oxygen, which adversely affects the condition of the dermis and epidermis. The constant release of this hormone causes various health problems, which are reflected in external beauty.
