Stress can show up in a lot of uncomfortable ways: chronic aches and pains, headaches, depression, digestive problems, insomnia, frequent sickness, and decreased energy.

The Types of Stress

There are three primary types. Physical stress can come from auto or workplace accidents, sports injuries, improper lifting, slips and falls, or even the physical stress of childbirth on a newborn, not to mention one of the biggest stressors of all: gravity itself. Mental stress covers everything from financial pressure to work deadlines to caring for a seriously ill parent. Chemical stress comes from food additives, pesticides, pollution, personal hygiene products, and medications, we’re surrounded by chemical stressors that can affect the nervous system and overall health.
