UNDERSTANDING STRESS
Stress is the body’s natural response to perceived threats or demands, triggering a complex series of physiological reactions known as the “fight-or-flight” response. When stress becomes chronic or excessive, it can have far-reaching negative impacts on nearly every organ system in the body. Prolonged stress can lead to issues such as difficulty breathing, headaches, heart disease, digestive problems, hormonal imbalances, and a compromised immune system. It is important to manage stress levels through healthy coping mechanisms, lifestyle changes, and seeking support when needed, as chronic stress can impair overall physical and mental well-being.
