7. Unwanted Stress
Professional commitments and goals of the modern age do put a lot of strain on our mental and emotional systems. However, an excessive amount of stress is harmful for your physical body as well and is the leading cause of a number of ailments. Stress causes the body to release Cortisol which is a stress combating hormone. However, the side effects of this hormone are fat retention, lower cell regeneration, sub optimal metabolic rate and impaired cognitive abilities. Thus, it is very important to get rid of excess amounts of stress by using relaxation techniques, exercise and mediation.
