Women tend to take on a lot of stress, which can impact their heart health. They not only take on their own stress but also that of their family. This compounding stress can be a potential health hazard, causing physical and psychological issues.
Research shows that women tend to use food when impacted by stress. This results in increased weight and decreased exercise. However, when weight increases and exercise is pushed to the side, the health-related heart risk factors can develop or worsen for those who have a pre-existing condition. Blood pressure and cholesterol can also increase, and the risk of developing diabetes can also rise.

Women of all ages are at risk for health-related risk factors, but research shows that postmenopausal women are even more at risk. High blood pressure, obesity, high cholesterol, and diabetes are leading risk factors for developing heart and cerebral vascular disease, including heart attack and stroke.
In addition to these risk factors, multiple studies have also demonstrated that depression alone is a strong factor in the development of heart disease in women. It has also been found to have worse long-term outcomes for those who have already suffered a heart-related event.
Unfortunately, women are at a greater risk for depression if their stress goes unrecognized or untreated. Women need to understand the symptoms of stress, including weight gain, mood swings, poor sleeping, fatigue, irritability, a racing heart, and poor eating habits. If these symptoms develop, women need to identify what is triggering the stress and implement changes to help minimize the symptoms.

Sarah began her interest in nutritional healing at an early age. After going through health problems and becoming frustrated with the conventional ways doctors wanted to treat her illness (which were not working), she took it upon herself to find alternative treatments. This led her to revolutionize her own diet to help her get healthier and tackle her health problems. She began treating her illness by living a more balanced lifestyle through healthy food choices, exercise and other alternative medicine such as meditation. This total positive lifestyle change led her to earn a diploma in Nutritional Therapy from Health Sciences Academy in London, England. Today, Sarah enjoys helping others by teaching healthy lifestyle changes through her personal consultations and with her regular contributions to the Doctors Health Press. Also, passionate about following her dreams in life, Sarah moved to France and lived in Paris for over 5 years where she earned a certification in beadwork and embroidery from Lesage (an atelier owned by Chanel). She then went on to be a familiar face sitting front row and reporting from Paris Fashion Week. Sarah continues to practice some of the cultural ways of life she learned while in Europe. They enjoy their food, and take the time to relax and enjoy many of life’s little moments. These are life lessons she is glad to have brought back home with her.
