A new study of British scientists has revealed a shocking relationship between financial difficulties and health. According to a study, which has been covered by 4934 people for four years, financial problems increase the development of diseases of the immune, nervous and endocrine systems by 60%.
The study, which lasted four years, was attended by 4,934 people aged 50 years. Scientists have identified six major stress factors, including financial problems, care for someone, disability, severe loss, illness and divorce.
The results showed that participants who experienced stress due to financial difficulties were 60% more likely to develop a “high risk profile” in four years. Each additional stress factor, such as divorce, increased by 19%. The study confirms that chronic stress can lead to serious changes in health, in particular due to hormonal changes and inflammatory processes in the body.
Experts advise to eliminate stress factors, maintain a balanced diet, provide sufficient sleep and actively engage in physical activity to combat stress. If necessary, you should seek medical help.
