Explanation of Interconnections
- Stress → Oxidative Stress: Chronic stress increases cortisol levels and leads to an overproduction of free radicals, resulting in oxidative stress.
- Oxidative Stress → Inflammation: Excess free radicals cause tissue damage, activating the body’s inflammatory response.
- Inflammation → Allergy: Inflammatory processes can worsen allergic responses by sensitizing the immune system.
- Allergy → Stress: Persistent allergic symptoms can lead to physical and emotional stress.
- Stress → Depression: Chronic stress disrupts neurotransmitter balance, contributing to mood disorders.
- Depression → Oxidative Stress: Depression is associated with increased oxidative damage due to reduced antioxidant defenses.
- Inflammation → Depression: Chronic inflammation influences brain chemistry, linking it to depression.
