4. Decreased Immunity
Most of us get colds and flu from time to time, but if you are getting sick more often than usual, stress may be the culprit. When we are focused on dealing with an obstacle, it can rob energy away from other things, like fighting microbes.
As a result, our defenses are down and we can more readily come down with sniffles, or more serious problems. Adopt a healthy diet and exercise routine and get enough rest.
You may want to take immune-boosting herbs, such as echinacea, and take B vitamins which can be depleted by stress.
