Chronic stress is a big health concern for many doctors and dentist. Stress not only affects your mental health but it can affect your physical and oral health as well.

We consulted with professionals in the medical industry to uncover the leading causes of stress and how they can be avoided.

1. Loneliness

A new study showed that 40 percent of adults said they were very lonely, this number is up from 20 percent in the mid-1980s.

Humans, as a species, are natural tribal people, so from a survival perspective, being alone too often can often trigger stress responses in the body. Feeling alone can activate the danger signal and cause us more mental stress. There is a lot of scientific evidence that suggests people that are involved in a supportive community or neighborhood have half the rate of heart disease compared to lonely people.

2. Feeling Hungry

If you are hungry, the stress levels in your body may activate. Many people who are hungry feel anxious and moody; this is because the body is low in energy. The best thing to do is eat a healthy snack or meal.

3. Hating Your Job

If you are in a job that you hate and it is burdensome, your stress levels could be extremely high. Chronic stress can harm the body and staying in a career you hate just to get a paycheck will add years to your life. Premature aging is a side effect of stress.

4. Being Negative

If you see the world as a glass-half-empty view, your brain may be communicating all sorts of negative and scary messages to the rest of your body, common thoughts like There is never enough money, or I never get my way, or I will be alone forever. People who are optimistic are happier and they usually take better care of themselves.

5. Bad Relationships

If you love your partner but you feel unsupported, unloved and stressed out, then it might be a good idea to look at your stress levels. Toxic relationship can cause major anxiety, and often hurt our health.

You are going to be better off alone than staying in the company of someone who stresses out your body and nervous system.

6. You’re a Worry Wart

People who worry a lot are much more likely to get disease and health issues like heart attacks. Your brain will focus on what goes wrong which can impact your life in many ways. Try to focus on the good aspects of life and be thankful for what is working.

Your stress triggers will go up when you worry a lot.

7. Traumas

Many people have issues from their younger years that they never address them. Childhood issues can resurface again and again until we look at them. When looking at your own life make sure you address trauma so you can heal the wound and distress.

8. Unwilling to Forgive

Holding on to resentment can hurt your health. It can cause stress and anxiety. When we forgive we free ourselves of the emotional burden and move and grow beyond.
