Did you know that stress is a top threat to women’s immune health? In fact, 90 percent of primary care visits are stress related. Of course, there are the external threats as well, such as smoking and chemical contaminants.
Caregiving is also a factor in compromised immunity. Eight in 10 caregivers have chronic illnesses and 66 percent of caregivers in the Unites States are women. Stress from caring for a sick or elderly relative increases the odds of becoming chronically ill.
