SINGAPORE, Jan 3, 2025 - (ACN Newswire) - People often associate the end of the year as a time to wind down, slow down and get into the New Year celebration mood – but surprisingly, around the world, research has shown that stress levels actually increases during the holiday season, with year-end work deadlines, last-minute shopping, loneliness, and increased travel commitments as a large contribution to the additional pressure. With 87% of Singaporeans already experiencing high stress levels throughout the year, the number spikes further as the close of the year creeps in.
In the post-pandemic era, research has proven that there is an intrinsic link between stress, immune function, and vulnerability to illnesses. The higher stress one faces on a day-to-day basis, the weaker the immune function becomes. Increased social interactions, feasting and late nights also causes a strain on the immunity and overall well-being of individuals.
For example, the prevalence of leisure sickness, falling ill during or immediately after vacations, has been the focus of many researchers – why do people fall sick after a holiday break? Leisure sickness is caused by a combination of chronic stress, disrupted routines, and exposure to pathogens unfamiliar to the body from foreign lands, which have been shown to leave individuals with a weakened immune system, further underscoring the need for immune support during the holidays.
