#Stress

Stress is the body's natural response to any demand or threat, activating the 'fight or flight' response. While short-term stress can be beneficial, chronic or prolonged stress can have significant negative impacts on both physical and mental health. It can manifest as symptoms like headaches, muscle tension, fatigue, digestive issues, anxiety, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. Persistent stress can contribute to the development or exacerbation of various medical conditions, including heart disease, depression, and weakened immune function, making effective stress management crucial for well-being.
