A lot of people have had a really bad time this year. 7 out of 10 women feel that they are more tired and stressed than before the pandemic, and calls to emotional support lines are skyrocketing.
Stress, anxiety, depression and the suicide rate have increased. In the same way that overweight, obesity and related diseases are increasing. This harmful effect occurs in both directions because in terms of health, body and mind work inextricably together, for better… and for worse.
The ideal “marriage”
If there is a relationship that is “for life”, it is this one. In fact, research conducted in Australia in 2013 indicated that there is solid evidence of the link between the imbalance of neurotransmitters in the nervous system, in coordination with hormones, and the risk of developing a psychiatric illness.
This means that when we react badly to certain situations, a lot of stress, depression or anxiety manifests itself. And the body also feels these negative effects by reacting with:-
metabolic changes
-
Cardiovascular diseases
-
and increased inflammation
Not surprisingly, the relationship between coronary artery disease and depression, for example, has been widely investigated. In turn, inflammatory and endocrine agents alter the central nervous system, enhancing mental problems.
