More Research Links Stress With Health Problems Doctors have long understood that stress can exacerbate many health conditions, but new research shows that stress can actually cause dangerous problems. A recent study found that the release of cortisol and adrenaline caused by stress might be linked to common health problems like the common cold, weight gain, Type 2 diabetes, depression, and heart disease. Here are a few ways to reduce the amount of stress in your life: • Take time each day to meditate, go on a walk, or enjoy a quiet, restorative activity. • See your doctor regularly and make sure he or she knows about the levels of stress in your life. • Build a support network. Research shows that caregivers with a strong network of friends and loved ones suffer less stress. • Exercise regularly, even if you can only make time for short bursts of activity.
