How Stress Affects Physical Health

Stress Is the body’s way of responding to the hectic lives most of us live, whether good or bad. The body releases chemicals into the bloodstream, which creates a rush of energy and strength If an individual is feeling stressed. This energy can prove useful if an individual is in physical danger. Because it enables a person’s survival instinct kicks in; it is often described as ‘fight or flight.’ In addition, stress can also have a negative effect on the body, for example: suffering from stress and leaving it unchecked can contribute to health problems, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity, and diabetes.

Throughout life stress is a common problem whether it’s at work, school or home. The many negative effects of stress in fact affect individuals differently varying from health issues to work performance. Therefore, all individuals have different views of stress and various ways of handling it or otherwise managing their stress. Stress is when any living thing feels endangered and its homeostasis is at risk (Varvogli & Darviri, 2011, p. 74). Ways of dealing with stress are efforts of cognitive, behavioral, and psychological nature that allows a person to manage stress. Although there are different causes of stress, there are also many techniques for relieving it. The following articles are intended for the reader to

Everyone’s life consists of a never-ending number of challenges and barriers. As humans we learn to juggle our responsibilities each and every day, though sometimes we tend to ignore these hassles hoping they would vanish into thin air. Nonetheless, while overcoming such barriers and reaching achievements provides a degree of happiness and satisfaction, failure to successfully manage our daily responsibilities adds to an internal feeling or anxiety and promotes stress. Unfortunately, not everyone possesses the knowledge and skills necessary to properly channel stress and enable our minds to function as efficiently as possible. During my research on stress management, one article stood out as it provided several ways of coping and overcoming stress. It recommends improving internal thinking, practicing breathing techniques, releasing endorphins into the brain by being physically active and by staying positive.

This focus of this study is to determine the relationship between daily exercise and stress using rats as a model. It is hypothesized that increased daily exercise will reduce stress and stress hormones found in the blood of rats. This subject is of interest as it may be able to help both humans and future research using rats. If the findings of this experiment are translatable to humans, with further research improvements could be made to many aspects of our society. This could include better medical treatment, workplace productivity, or even academic performance by reducing or limiting stress. The results of is study may also help future researchers working with rat models that require the rats to be at a certain stress level;

Stress is an emotional state that is difficult to define because everyone experiences stress in different ways. Pathologically speaking, stress is the brain’s response to certain demands for change and can be positive or negative depending on the individual. This state of mind is induced by physical and emotional stimuli; this in turn generates a response that affects many aspects of a person’s wellbeing. Psychological, behavioral and biological stressors all play a role in an individual’s mood, sense of well-being, behavior and health (Schneiderman, Ironson, & Siegel, Stress and health: psychological, behavioral, and biological determinants, 2005). These factors can threaten our internal homeostasis which

Everyone experiences some level of stress whether it is in their school life, work life, or social life around friends and family. To relieve stress, many people use different strategies to achieve a relaxing state. Two major ways people are able to relieve stress is naturally and unnaturally. Relieve stress naturally involves using your own body and mentality to relax while unnatural sources of relaxation comes drugs like alcohol, marijuana and tobacco products. Unnatural and natural strategies are used to promote relaxation. Both methods compare and contrast with their beneficial uses, long lasting effects, and its controversy on overall health.

Mental health is a major concern for the general population, but especially for university students (Reeves et al., 2011; Hunt and Eisenberg, 2010; Biddle and Asare, 2011). It is important to look at what causes mental health issues, such as psychological distress, and what can be done to help eliminate or treat them (Hunt and Eisenberg, 2010; Knowlden, Hackman, and Sharma, 2015; Biddle and Asare, 2011). One possible factor when looking at what could influence psychological distress is physical activity (Knowlden, Hackman, and Sharma, 2015). There have been countless studies on the role that exercise plays in mental (Knowlden, Hackman, and Sharma, 2015; Biddle and Asare, 2011; Mailey et al., 2012). Physical activity has been

The feeling of stress is inevitable to avoid and eliminate entirely from our lives. As we go through life and our stress levels rise for various reasons, we may experience feelings such as worry, anxiety, insomnia, etc. We search for strategies to assist with decreasing the feeling of stress or to better help cope with it. Coping is defined as “managing taxing circumstances, expending effort to solve life’s problems, and seeking to master or reduce stress” (King 521). Individuals perform a wide range of activities to help manage stress and decrease its effects such as working out at a gym regularly, attending routine social gatherings, and reading books. One stress reducer that our society often overlooks is nature and its benefits.

Wellness and meditative activities might be offered together due to the objectives of each can be comparative. Fitness does increases metabolism and help to add muscle and firm the body, it diminishes stress and enhances their ability to cope with daily stressors in their lives. In addition, since stress also lead to poor nourishment decisions, by diminishing stress in their lives customer's are better ready to resist poor habits.

The impact of stress on the well-being of individuals has been well documented over time. This is more so the case when it comes to the effect of stress on an individual's psycho-socio-physical well-being. In addition to addressing how stress impacts on an individual's psycho-socio-physical well-being, I propose strategies that can be utilized to rein in on these stress factors. Further, I also propose activities which could come in handy as far as stress release is concerned.

Comparing recent studies shows that there may be a link between exercises and reducing stress levels, there are a lot of disagreements with the duration and types of exercise that

A substantial amount of Canadians experience stress in their lives. In fact, nearly one-quarter of the population over the age of 15 are stressed on a daily basis (Statistics Canada, 2013). Stress can be defined as a mental and emotional state of tension, in which one perceives the environment around them to be strenuous and overwhelming. Although some stress is necessary for survival, it can adversely affect both the physical and mental health. Its detrimental effects include but are not limited to: lack of confidence, concentration, motivation, decision making and increased heartrate, sweating, tension, as well as other physical and psychological problems such as headaches and insomnia (Canadian Mental Health Association, 2015). These health complications strongly emphasize the need for further research in ways to cope with, and reduce stress. Henceforth, the purpose of this paper is to use established research to better understand stress, then propose my own study that would investigate another stress-reduction method.

When someone wants to work out they usually do it for the physical benefits. What people don’t know and really should know, is that personal fitness can greatly improve your mental state. It can help your brain function in multiple ways that people never knew could be related to physical activity. Stress isn’t something you would go exercising for but it can truly help with it.

This means that people need to know that when they exercise they can gain so much more than just muscles, it can make their lives much easier on themselves just by helping there brain and mental state with a little exercise. If people can work off their stress they will be able to accomplish more in their work day then people that don’t due to an over load of stress.
