Is Stress Bad?

Stress

Stress differs from person to person depending on the kind of lifestyle one lives. It is the way we feel when we react to certain situations and how the body prepares to meet a situation. Things that bring on stress are called stressors. Your body will respond to these stressors by activating specific hormones. These hormones speed up your heart rate, breathing rate, blood pressure and metobolism. Blood vessels open wider to allow for more blood flow to the major muscle groups. Mucsles tense awaiting to meet a challenge. Sweat is produced to cool the body. All this allows one to react quickly and to handle the pressure.

Is all stress bad?

Some stress is not bad, for example short term stress is not always bad. A test you are studying for can help keep you on your toes without having any bad effects on the body. After short term stress the body will get it's required rest and return back to normal. . Then you get the stress that is bad for you which is long lasting stress, for example a divorce. In long term stress the nervous system continues to sense pressure and continues to send out stress hormones. This can wear a person out leaving them tired, weakening their immune system and causing other problems.
