Because stress is pressure or demand placed on an organism to adjust or adapt. Long term stress can be understood by examining the body's defense against stress, this is known as General Adaptation syndrome.]]> 2022-04-26 18:35:06 UTC https://padlet.com/agill0706/gsfhoudqwpeb9gzj/wish/2159077245 agill0706 https://padlet.com/agill0706/gsfhoudqwpeb9gzj/wish/2159077580 General Adaptation Syndrome is a series of three of stress response to prolonged stress. The first stage is the alarm reaction, in which your body mobilizes its resources to cope with the added pressure. More adrenaline is produced, and some bodily functions are sped up while some are slowed down. Then there's the stage of resistance, in which your bodily adjustments to stress stabilize and your defenses come to a balance. Finally, continued stress leads to the stage of exhaustion, which leaves you feeling drained as your body's resources and stress hormones are all depleted. ]]> 2022-04-26 18:35:21 UTC https://padlet.com/agill0706/gsfhoudqwpeb9gzj/wish/2159077580 agill0706 https://padlet.com/agill0706/gsfhoudqwpeb9gzj/wish/2159078476 A good example of these three stages is when I'm at work and we get a big rush. The alarm reaction is to rush to get everything done and keep up with the people. Then I balance out after the whole rush to close the store down before I leave. Finally, after I leave the stage of exhaustion kicks in, and I just want to rest.]]> 2022-04-26 18:35:54 UTC https://padlet.com/agill0706/gsfhoudqwpeb9gzj/wish/2159078476
