Effects of stress: Stress itself can have negative effects on the body. But it may also lead to unhealthy behaviors such as poor diet, lack of physical activity, and poor sleep, which may increase risk for some of the diseases mentioned. Consult your doctor to see how you might address each of these factors to improve your health.
