We encounter stress on a daily basis, when we are stuck in traffic or waiting in the long lineup at the grocery store, for example. Stress can vary greatly from mild to severe and chronic. Numerous studies have shown the detrimental effects of stress on the body, as it causes headaches and stomach aches, raises blood pressure, lowers libido, and weakens the body’s immune system, making it harder to fight off illness. A new study has shown that chronic stress may even be robbing you of your precious memories.
