Effects of Stress on Digestion

Effects of Stress on Digestion

The stomach and brain are strongly linked.
If you see your favorite food, your stomach will instantly start to churn and contract to signal and forcing you to eat it.
When a person is in stress, his body tries to cope up with it. Stress burns your calories, making you feel tired. The brain, in return, signals the liver to produce more and more glucose to give energy to the body to overcome the tiredness.
This excess amount of glucose increases the risk of diabetes.
Stress is responsible for the irregular movement of the food in your digestive tract, being the cause for constipation and diarrhea.
Cortisol is a stress hormone which for the time being, diverts the brain towards the stress overlooking the rest of the routine functions of digestion.
Now you know why you feel sick, nauseous, or get stomach problems, it is because of the irregular movement in the intestines.
Stress causes an increase in the level of acid production inside the stomach. This not only causes acid reflux or indigestion, but the rise in acid may burn the protective lining of your stomach; the problem called ulcer.
