Fight Stress

High cholesterol, which causes hypertension and clogs the arteries of the heart, is one of the effects of excess stress. Anxiety increases the release of cortisol in the body, a hormone that increases the concentration of glucose in the blood, triggering problems like diabetes, high triglyceride levels and lack of cholesterol. Every time you get anxious, the amount of free radicals that are circulating in your body increases. With anxiety, the presence of free radicals in the body increases, which may cause a worsening of heart problems. This is because they interact with excess cholesterol in the body, forming plaques in blood vessel walls, and deteriorate certain inflammatory diseases and cause aging.
