Continuous stress can have a very negative effect on health, said Russian psychotherapist and psychologist Zhanna Gardanova, Ura.ru reported.

According to her, stress can lead to the development of some harmful illnesses. These include bronchial asthma, peptic ulcers, duodenal ulcers, neurodermatitis, diabetes mellitus, and ischemic heart disease.

According to the specialist, doing sports is useful in the fight against stress, which causes such diseases.

"In case of high level of anxiety, a person cannot sit still, he has to move, and that’s why so sports can be useful," said Gardanova.
