In today's society, debt has become an unfortunate reality for many individuals. Whether it's credit card debt, student loans, car loans, or any other form of financial obligations, the burden of debt can have a significant impact on our overall well-being, including our physical health.

This subchapter aims to shed light on the physical effects of debt on health and provide practical strategies for individuals to break free from the shackles of debt.

It is no secret that financial stress can take a toll on our bodies. Studies have shown a direct correlation between debt and various health issues.

One of the most common physical effects is increased stress levels. Constantly worrying about how to make ends meet and struggling to pay off debts can lead to chronic stress, which negatively affects our immune system, cardiovascular health, and mental well-being.

Additionally, debt can cause sleep disturbances and insomnia. 

The constant thoughts about financial obligations can keep individuals awake at night, leading to sleep deprivation. 

Lack of sleep has been linked to a range of health problems, including weakened immune system, obesity, and cardiovascular diseases.
