IS IT STRESS?<\/h2>\n

Stress is essential for life. It made perfect sense thousands of years ago when human beings used to hunt and it alerted them to danger in order to execute a \u201cfight or flight\u201d. Nowadays, adversities are very different and everyday or work situations lead us to activate this stress mechanism without the need for our life to be in danger.<\/p>\n

Today's stresses, such as money problems or deadlines at work, do not cause a \u201cfight or flight\u201d response; as we once needed to survive in nature, but they do cause the body to release stress hormones.<\/p>\n

When you are in shock or perceive something as a threat, the body releases hormones (chemicals produced by the body), such as adrenaline, that contribute to the \u201cfight or flight\u201d response. These hormones increase your heart rate and blood pressure to get more oxygen and glucose to your muscles.<\/p>\n

Many of the body's control mechanisms act without you having to think about them, as your response is involuntary to unexpected stressful events, which allows you to adapt or manifests itself in reactions such as speeding up your thinking, employing more energetic behavior, increasing your efficiency to successfully overcome certain situations.<\/p>\n

However, it begins to be detrimental when the energy or resources expended are not recovered. If this happens, there is a significant wear and tear on the organism.<\/p>\n
