Stress refers to the body’s response to demands or challenges, which can be physical, mental, or emotional in nature. It is a normal physiological reaction that occurs when a person perceives a situation as threatening or overwhelming, triggering the “fight or flight” response. This response involves the release of hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol, preparing the body to act by increasing heart rate, blood pressure, and energy supplies. While stress can be beneficial in short bursts, helping to improve focus and performance, chronic stress can have detrimental effects on health. Prolonged exposure to stress can lead to a variety of issues, including mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and impaired immune function. Managing stress effectively involves a combination of strategies such as regular physical activity, relaxation techniques, proper nutrition, and adequate sleep, as well as seeking professional help when necessary.
