How do you know you’re stressed? Everything smells bad!
A study discovered that stress re-wires the brain and what used to be neutral odors now seem offensive. Here are five other ways stress has a negative effect on us:
More than 60 percent of human illnesses can be linked to stress.
Stress fogs up our mind and makes us dumber.
Stress changes our body odor. Adrenaline and cortisol spike in our bloodstream and induces sweating.
Stress leads to “distress,” which leads to headaches, upset stomach and elevated blood pressure.
Stress costs money — more than 300 billion annually for the American workforce
