What is stress

NEED FOR RELAXATION DUE TO STRESS

Stress is common-place nowadays with the modern lifestyle. Hectic jobs, bringing up children, credit debts, marriages, divorces, marital/relationship problems, road rage, noisy neighbours, and the list goes on... It's no wonder our bodies are struggling to keep up! The problem is that we don't allow ourselves time to relax and as such pressures start to accumulate.

Stress is your body's response to any stimulus. All types of stress will cause the following physiological responses:

your adrenaline output increases,
your heart pumps faster
your breathing rate goes up

The outcome is postive if only experienced over a short period, however, this stress must be released. If there is no release then it will act negatively on your body and can lead to chronic fatigue, headaches, a change in eating habits, inability to concentrate, general irritability, as well as other physical problems.

Stress is currently a major killer across the globe. Mostly, it is thought to accelerate the formation of the disease that will eventually cause a death. It is for these reasons that it is important to recongnise stress and deal with it, before it consumes you!
