Blood Vessels: Chronic stress can impair the function of the endothelium—the lining of blood vessels—potentially leading to atherosclerosis, a precursor to heart disease. Insulin Resistance: Cortisol can interfere with insulin’s ability to regulate blood sugar, potentially leading to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.
