Abstract

Chronic stress exerts profound effects on cellular health, disrupting key mechanisms such as mitochondrial function, oxidative stress regulation, and inflammatory pathways. These disruptions not only compromise physical and mental health but also lead to reduced workplace productivity and heightened healthcare costs. Advances in cellular biology and nutrition science highlight the potential to counteract stress-induced cellular damage through targeted nutritional interventions. This article delves into the intricate connections between stress, cellular health, and nutrition, providing a comprehensive analysis of how these factors influence mental wellness. Drawing on scientific findings and real-world case studies, the discussion emphasizes data-driven strategies to mitigate stress and foster workplace mental wellness. Actionable recommendations are offered for employers, insurers, and policymakers, focusing on integrating nutrition-based interventions, wellness programs, and supportive policies to enhance employee well-being and organizational performance.
