Stress is the way you feel when pressure is placed on you:
A little bit of pressure can be productive as it can motivate you to perform better at something. However too much or prolonged pressure can lead to stress, which is unhealthy for both the mind and body.
Everyone reacts differently to stress and some people may have a higher threshold than others. Too much stress often leads to physical and emotional problems.
Stress Chemicals
When faced with a stressful situation your body releases chemicals including cortisol, adrenaline and noradrenaline. These chemicals invoke the ‘fight or flight’ feelings that help us deal with a difficult situation. However when in an everyday situation that fighting or escaping is not appropriate these chemicals are not used. Stress can increase blood pressure, heart rate and may lead to serious illnesses.
