Stress is considered one of your main pillars of 'wellness'.
Ironically, todays society seems to be getting more stressed & exercising less. Young teenagers are stressing over social media, many adults are concerned with their finances, university giving strict deadlines, all of which are causing further stress related issues.
1in 5 Australians have been reported to be suffering some form of stress that is impacting their physical health. The interesting, yet ironic response of this data collected is that 79% of Australians also know that maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important to them. Who wouldn't want to be 100% healthier, feel pain free & live in a constant state of 'wellness'.
Well, stress has been associated with elevated blood pressure, depression, weight related issues, joint pain & even cancer development. If someone knows they have high blood pressure which is a high risk for cardiac disease, this may cause stress. Knowing that they also have to provide for their family when finances are tight may cause stress. Which influences your personal budget dedicated to improving your personal health... I think you get the point.
Stress can become a snowball effect that grips you tight & doesn't let go which influences your motivation, shuffles your priorities & therefore you have less time.
