Most of us have at one time or another used the phrase “I am so stressed out”. Modern life is fast-paced and it’s common to feel stressed from time to time. Life gets faster, kids get older and many of us worry about work, school, money, love, even the pressure to de–stress can become a stressor.
April is National Stress Awareness month and to mark the occasion, I’m sharing common signs of stress you may have never heard of!
It can Affect your Hair Growth
Many factors can impact healthy hair including stress. If your hair could use some support, a nutritional supplement like Priorin can help improve hair growth. It has been shown to provide fuller, thicker and stronger hair in as little as 12 weeks, so you know you aren’t tossing your money away on a quick-fix product.
It can Cause Bathroom Trouble
Both constipation and diarrhea are common signifiers of stress, but just because it’s common doesn’t mean there’s nothing you can do about it. Drinking lots of water and eating high fibre foods are good first steps. If you’re experiencing occasional constipation, a mild laxative can help get your body back to its normal rhythm. RestoraLAX is an osmotic laxative that works with water to help soften stools and increase the frequency of bowel movements. Check out this summary chart to find out which laxative is right for you.

It can Make you Breakout
Skin conditions like acne, itchy skin or rashes can be related to an inflammatory response caused by stress. Your skin is an immediate stress perceiver, which basically means it’s on the frontlines of your battle with stress. Take time to pamper and care for your skin when you’re going through a stressful period. Try a DIY face mask for some low-cost luxurious pampering you can do at home.
It can Increase your Chances of a Yeast Infection
Many women are prone to yeast infections when they’re experiencing stress or major life changes, like planning a wedding, losing a job or moving to a new home. Around 75 percent of women will experience it at least once in their lives, while many women may suffer from recurrent VYI’s. Luckily treatment for a yeast infection is readily available. Some treatments, like CanesOral Combi-Pak, are single-dose oral treatments that can be taken anytime and anywhere. The Combi-Pak also comes with an external cream for fast relief of external itching and burning.
It can Literally Make You Sick
If you often get colds and flus, your stress levels may be to blame. Your brain and immune system are in constant communication, which means that a psychological change can cause physical symptoms. Diet is an important factor in bolstering your immune system, so take extra care to get the vitamins and nutrients you need.
The bottom line is that occasional stress is a normal part of life, but given the effect it has on our body, making an effort to reduce stress is worth your time. Talk to your doctor about ways you can help manage your stress, like a change in diet, increased exercise and relaxation techniques.

Some of the ways that I cope with day-to-day stress is by talking about the triggers of the stress with my husband. I find when I verbalize my feelings, I can find a solution, or just let go of whatever it is that’s bothering me. I also find exercising and listening to upbeat music are both good stress relievers.

Yes, stress is responsible for so many physical heath problems.
Hard, but the most effective remedy for my stress has been focusing on just the moment I am in. My stress comes from overthinking the future, worrying, and I find just going NOW is best for me to avoid too much stress.
Get a good book and read until I feel the stress ease.
