Here are some of these health conditions emanating from stress.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022 Stress affects man\u2019s sex life<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The impact of stress on men\u2019s sex life is severe. A stressed man gradually weans away himself from sexual attraction and his taste in women changes over a period. It can be because of dwindling health and fitness level in men, diminished libido and loss of excitement in sexual activity, thus more stress shrouding men\u2019s mental condition and forcing them to isolation. Stress can also result from immature ejaculation and low testosterone that may invoke a guilt feeling in men.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Experts say, some men who are suffering from stress, try to self-medicate and somehow get trapped themselves in the poor habits. Their involvement in the illicit drugs, smoke and alcohol further diminish their reproductive capacity. The lack of men\u2019s health, diet and proper nutrition can make the condition worse.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022 Stress induces heart diseases<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Stress can simply make you a victim of heart diseases and, knowingly or unknowingly, you may witness some acute conditions like heart attract, heart failure and coronary artery disease. The persistent anxiety, depression and mental stress take a toll on the heart\u2019s function that manifest in the entire body. A stagnant body function and disordered lifestyle can cause small cholesterol particles that stick to the blood vessels, posing a threat to the heart\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022 Stress encourages blood sugar<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is a strong positive relationship between depression and blood sugar. With the rising stress level, you help to raise insulin level too, along with disorder in certain hormones. The presence of type 2 diabetes is very common in the people living the stress.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Diabetic people already have low response capacity for the fight-or-flight, and insulin present in their bodies doesn\u2019t unlock cells in full capacity. In this way, glucose level starts rising in the blood. Moreover, people with emotional stress witness hormonal disorder and blood glucose levels are likely to be elevated further.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022 Impact of stress on respiratory and cardiovascular systems<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Stress can be a cause of respiratory problems like asthma and shortness of breath. While you are in stress, you breathe faster to circulate oxygen and blood at a quicker speed. Faster breathing is one of the common stress symptoms in men that puts more strain on the blood vessels and heart, raising the risk of stroke or heart attack. Such a breathing pattern can also damage your bronchial tubes, deterring smooth breathing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022 Stress reduces immune system\u2019s capacity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">People under chronic stress are found to be more vulnerable to the viral illnesses like influenza, cough and cold. Strong immune system is like a soul of men\u2019s health that gives the instant and befitting response to the foreign invaders, but stress can corrode this capacity over a period. Therefore, people under stress can take a longer time to recover from illness than a normal healthy person.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022 Weight gain or weight loss in stress<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s very difficult to maintain an ideal body weight under stress as you may either gain too much weight or become extremely feeble. The poor eating during stress encourages the stress hormone cortisol to increase, and thereby it adds up the most amount of fat tissue in the body. On the other hand, poor nutrition and lack of appetite can burn more calories than necessary, resulting in a reduction in body weight.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Also Read:\u00a0<a title=\"10 Ways for Men to Reduce Stress\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reliablerxpharmacy.com\/blog\/10-ways-men-reduce-stress\/#.Vm_eDtJ97IU\" target=\"_blank\">10 Ways for Men to Reduce Stress<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Conclusion:<\/strong><br \/>\nIt would not be wrong if stress or depression were defined as silent killers of men\u2019s health.
