How you handle stress makes a big difference in how you feel on a day-to-day basis.
Research indicates that almost every system in the body can be adversely affected by stress.
Here are 5 of the most common ways stress affects men’s health:
Increased risk of heart disease and stroke. Suddenly losing your job or suffering job insecurity, for example, can lead a man to suffer from anxiety syndromes or depression. These types of stressors can lead to an increased risk of heart disease or stroke, both of which can be life-threatening.
Stress can lead to the accumulation of abdominal fat, coupled with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. This is due to cortisol, the stress hormone, and poor dietary choices with excessive bouts of overeating or comfort eating.

Sexual problems such as lack of desire, inability to get an erection, or premature ejaculation are common symptoms of stress. Performance in the bedroom is critical to men and their virility. Failure in this area will add fuel to the fire and drive stress levels through the roof.
Increased alcohol consumption. A man who is unable to cope with difficult life events may resort to increasing his alcohol consumption to help him cope. This will bring its own particular set of problems and lead to twice as many health problems for the man.
Increased risk of developing conditions such as chest pain, digestive problems, high blood pressure and elevated heart rate, among others.
