For anyone who has experienced a divorce, it might not come
as a surprise that divorce can have a drastic health impact on those going
through it. If you or someone you know is going through a divorce, you should
know that the emotional strain of a divorce may cause some significant health
problems, a few of which can become long term issues, if not treated.
Among the chief health concerns that divorce causes are
insomnia, a weakened immune system, heart disease, and weight gain. Many of
these, and
other health issues, are tied to the stress that individuals feel going
through a divorce.
In order to avoid these complications, experts suggest a few
tips. First, ensure that you lean on your support network. Talk to friends,
family member, or mental health professionals about the stress you’re
experiencing. Also ensure that you’re eating healthy foods and focusing on
regular exercise. Meditation, yoga or some other mindfulness exercises may also
help you focus on the positive and not get overwhelmed. Regardless, ensure that
you’re spending enough time on you and healing, and you may be able to minimize
the physiological effects of divorce.
