Stress and your body

November 18th, 2008

Stress is your body’s way of preparing to meet what it perceives to be a difficult situation. It is very helpful if you need extra energy to work a little harder to finish a project or when you have to react quickly. Although generally helpful, the stress response can also cause problems when it overreacts, continues to run or fails to reset itself properly.
