When looking at the effects of too much stress, you might not think that many of them are too major. Some people experience headaches and skin problems while some women might find upsets in their menstrual cycle.

Many people believe that stress can be the cause of an ulcer. This is actually not true but it might make an existing one even worse.

There are several ways that you can lead a more balanced life with less stress. Always make sure you're taking time for yourself to relax.
