Abstract: Stress, we have developed much too conversant with the name. It is indeed a necessary evil. Stress only drives us to put efforts in order to survive. In fact, stress is the sole reason for our survival. So stress is also vital and hence has been called a needed evil. But, if stress is so important for our survival, why it has become a problematic issue in today’s life. Stress is basically a psychological and physiological response to events that disappointed our private balance in some way. It is a state of mind which distorts comfortable way of living. Our body responds to each stressful stimuli through a number of physiological and emotional changes. These changes have been termed as “fight-or-flight” stress response. This response involves a small part of the brain called the hypothalamus which triggers the sympathetic nervous system to statement stress hormones, including adrenaline, norepinephrine, and cortisol. These stress hormones circulate through the bloodstream and bring about various changes in the different systems of the body. Heart rate and blood flow to the large muscles increase so we can run faster and fight harder. Blood vessels under the skin constrict to prevent blood loss in case of injury, pupils expand so we can see better, and our blood sugar ramps up, giving us an energy boost and speeding up reaction time. At the same time, body processes not essential to immediate survival is suppressed. The digestive and reproductive systems slow down, growth hormones are switched off, and the immune response is inhibited.
