How can excess stress be linked with chronic diseases?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It can affect eating habits and blood pressure
Prolonged stress can influence hormones, sleep, appetite, and coping behaviours. Some people may eat more salty, sugary, or high-fat foods, become less active, or experience increased blood pressure. These pathways can add to chronic-disease risk, but stress affects individuals differently and is only one factor; balanced diet, activity, sleep, and professional support remain important.
