Responses can be physical, mental, and emotional. Stress is not always a bad thing, in fact it is often good. We are designed to experience stress and react to it. Stress keeps us alert, motivated, and helps us avoid danger. However, stress becomes bad when a person experiences continuous stress without relief or relaxation. What then happens is the body becomes over worked and the body must respond. Too much stress response causes physical and emotional wear and tear on the body leading to the symptoms above.]]> 2019-01-12 05:19:09 UTC https://padlet.com/279133/jhayuouwmwyi/wish/319918646 https://www.stress.org/stress-effects/ 279133 https://padlet.com/279133/jhayuouwmwyi/wish/319919362 2019-01-12 05:41:49 UTC https://padlet.com/279133/jhayuouwmwyi/wish/319919362 Too much stress leaves the body vulnerable to sickness 279133 https://padlet.com/279133/jhayuouwmwyi/wish/319919557 2019-01-12 05:47:05 UTC https://padlet.com/279133/jhayuouwmwyi/wish/319919557 Stress and the immune system 279133 https://padlet.com/279133/jhayuouwmwyi/wish/319919657 Stress stimulates the immune system, which can be a good thing in many situations. This stimulation can help you avoid infections and heal wounds. But over time, stress hormones will weaken your immune system and reduce your body’s response to foreign invaders. People under chronic stress are more susceptible to viral illnesses like the flu and the common cold, as well as other infections. Stress can also increase the time it takes you to recover from an illness or injury.]]> 2019-01-12 05:49:55 UTC https://padlet.com/279133/jhayuouwmwyi/wish/319919657 How does this connect with my life? 279133 https://padlet.com/279133/jhayuouwmwyi/wish/324221197 Last year I went through a period of about 3 weeks that were filled with nothing but stress.
