“…Stress refers to the individual non‐specific response caused by stressors, including physiological response and psychological response (Kruk et al, 2019). Studies have shown that about 75%–90% of diseases are related to the activation of stress (Kruk et al, 2019; Tomiyama, 2019; Yaribeygi et al, 2017). Specifically, stress is closely related to brain function damage including impairment of memory, cognition and learning (Lupien et al, 2009); affects immune system functions by regulating neuroendocrine system, and severe stress can result in malignancy via suppressing the immune system (Reiche et al, 2004); has a deleterious effect on cardiovascular system function including increasing the risk of thrombosis, atherosclerosis, coronary vasoconstriction, cardiac arrhythmias and myocardial infarction (Kario et al, 2003); and is associated with gastrointestinal complications by affecting appetite and normal function of gastrointestinal tract (Yaribeygi et al, 2017).…”
