Stress as a Risk Factor
A risk factor for the disease is not a direct cause of that disease, but risk factor definitely increases the risk of that disease.Whether heart disease will develop or not is determined not only by such risk factors but also by the genetics of the person, and also by his environment. Genetics is a non-modifiable risk factor, and the environment is difficult to be modified in most settings.
Reducing Stress Benefits Your Health
Individual behavioral risk factors are generally under the direct control of a person so they are easier to change.Positive health behaviors like a brisk walk, simple stretching exercises, breathing exercises, yoga, etc. significantly help to reduce the risk of diseases.
People who have the tendency to overthink and develop anxiousness in response to stress should adopt these behaviors into their lifestyle to reduce their stress and risk of diseases.
A balanced diet and healthy sleep also benefit in reducing the risk of diseases in such people.
