Stress

Stress is the body's natural response to challenges or demands, whether they are physical, emotional, or mental. When faced with a stressful situation, the body releases hormones like adrenaline and cortisol, preparing you to respond—whether by confronting the issue or avoiding it. While some stress can motivate and enhance performance, excessive or chronic stress can negatively impact health, causing fatigue, anxiety, or weaknesses in the immune system. Managing stress involves recognizing sources of pressure, practicing relaxation techniques, and maintaining a balanced lifestyle to support overall well-being.
