Many women are struggling with stress and anxiety issues which may further impact heart health. Expert reveals easy ways to manage stress and related issues that may keep heart health in check.
Women have donned multiple roles, from being the nurturer and caregiver for the family to multi-tasking and leading at the professional front. Dedicated to their responsibilities, most often, they get caught up in the demands of day-to-day life that can be stressful in many ways. This stress often goes unnoticed and it can end up having larger ramifications on their health, specifically their heart health. Specific instances of stress are evident – tough deadlines at work, a big life change, loss of a loved one, etc. And we are all cognizant of this. However, in the day-to-day lives of women, there are many instances of stress that just go unnoticed. Simple tasks like ensuring family meals are prepared or children attend school on time can cause stress. This can be further exacerbated by meeting deadlines at work simultaneously or even completing the daily chores. These tasks are often unavoidable and hence the stress that comes with them is inevitable. However, there is a need to recognise the impact this can have on one’s health.
