We're all stressed - how can we bring back the balance?
As a society, it is not hard to see that everyone is dealing with some levels of stress. Some stress isn’t a bad thing as it keeps us on track with our responsibilities and helps us learn how to think/work under pressure. When we feel stressed, our body’s fight or flight response kicks in and helps us to think fast and determine our next move. When we are too stressed, our body is constantly in this fight or flight mode leading to an overload of the stress chemicals being released (epinephrine, norepinephrine and cortisol). Too much of these chemicals in our body can lead to side effects and if ignored, can have a lasting effect on the body. For a more detailed breakdown of the negative effects of stress in the body, please check out this link by U Life Line.
