Stop Stressing! Start Living! In a world bursting with situations that can cause stress — such as traffic jams, layoffs, illness, and money woes —it's not surprising that many people are feeling stressed out. And stress is reflected in a negative way that affects both the individual himself and best people in the surrounding.
How stress affect your body:
- Your breath quickens as your lungs take in extra oxygen.
- Glucose and fats are released from the storage sites in your blood stream. This supplies your body with the energy needed tofend the threat.
- Your sight and hearing become sharper, to make you more alert.
- Your heart beats faster, sometimes up to five times as quickly as normal.
- As your heart starts pounding, blood pressure rises. Certain blood vessels constrict, which helps direct blood flow to your brain and muscles and away from other organs.
- Your muscles tighten.
