What Exactly Is Stress?

Stress is a response triggered by the body when we are not at ease. Our body does not know what stress is, all that it knows is that it is constantly feeling threatened and pressured. What our bodies are trying to do when we are stress is prepare us for the incoming threat. That is why at times when we feel stressed our pupils dilate, our heart rate increases and our muscles contract. We may know inside our minds that we are not in real physical danger, but our body cant tell the difference.

How Stress Can Be Deadly

When you are feeling stressed, your body is essentially telling you that you are in a fight-or-flight response. This is natures mechanism in letting us know that trouble is ahead and we can either face the threat (and perhaps face injury or death) or run and try to survive. If stress is simply our bodys natural defense mechanism kicking in, then how can it be deadly?

Besides from the obvious social issues stress creates (anxiety, sweating, always tensed and never at ease) our body isnt meant to be in a defense state 24/7. Feeling stress is taxing your body in ways that you may not even know it. If you have any of the physical symptoms below, your body is telling you that something is wrong.

* Muscle tension
* Lower back pain
* Pains in shoulders or neck
* Pains in chest
* Stomach/abdominal pain
* Muscle spasms or nervous tics
* Unexplained rashes or skin irritations
* Pounding or racing heart
* Sweaty palms
* Sweating when not physically active
* Butterflies in stomach
* Indigestion and the gurgles
* Diarrhea
* Unable to sleep or excessive sleep
* Shortness of breath
* Holding breath

So not only will stress leave you physically drained, but in the long haul it can lead to very adverse health effects.
