What is Stress? ๐ค
Stress is a natural response to challenges or demands. When you see a threat or big challenge, your body responds with a "fight-or-flight" reaction, releasing hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. These hormones prepare your body to either face the challenge or escape from it. While this response can be helpful in short bursts, too much of this response can lead to a bunch of health issues, including anxiety, depression, and physical problems like heart disease.
In simple terms, stress is how your body reacts to life's demands. It's a mix of physical, mental, and emotional responses. While a little stress can be motivating, too much can be harmful.
