Why is stress so bad for you?


Why is stress so bad for you and what physical/mental effects can it have on you? Thanks

stress makes your body produce hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline to help combat the threat eg. when you're confronted by a bear, you'll need adrenaline to fight or flee.
however, if you're continually stressed, all that buildup of those hormones actually affect your immune system, and that's why stressed people tend to fall sick easily.
thus, long-term stress does indeed lead to a lot of physical effects like hypertension etc.
