People usually denote this as the fight-or-flight mechanism. When humans deal with challenges or danger, they have a moderately physical reaction. The body stimulates resources that benefit humans either stay and oppose the challenge or get to security as quickly as possible. The body creates huge amounts of the chemicals cortisol, epinephrine, and norepinephrine.

Re: How To Fight Stress

This is incredible science.

Also: it isn't wise to use alcohol - or even cigarettes and drugs - to deal with stress. These will worsen stress effects within the body. Plus, alcohol dehydrates the body and increases stress. The old "sip a glass of brandy" to deal with shock isn't a wise one.

Having effective sleep and using natural remedies to treat stress is a far better option.

It is very important to follow these steps if you want to reduce stress. Of course, there is no way to eliminate stress altogether: like when your ex-boyfriend is asking for a £1000 loan while with his rabid dog. BUT - to be serious - stress can be reduced by good dietary habits/a good sleep pattern/mild exercise. And also by not using alcohol to deal with stress: drink will worsen it and you could risk becoming addicted to alcohol, which you do not want.

Being sensible is key.

Re: How To Fight Stress

Stress is the body's natural response to threats, activating hormones like cortisol and adrenaline for the fight-or-flight reaction. While short-term stress is adaptive, chronic stress can harm physical and mental health. A healthy lifestyle involves managing stress through techniques like exercise, mindfulness, and seeking support when needed.

I'd say this is accurate. I 100% agree with seeking support when needed. Stress can't be gotten completely rid of though: stress IS part of daily life for mostly everyone. As for mindfulness: that will help to a certain extent but it really depends on how it is done and all that.

Just realize you will never completely eradicate stress: but you can certainly learn to deal with it on a daily basis.

To fight stress, try deep breathing, walking etc. Perform meditation don't and hesitate to share your feelings with your friends and family make sure you are giving time to yourself it's really important.
Agreed.

Friends and family can also help solve practical problems. If you're stressed because of an actual situation, then dealing with that practically is worthwhile. If you're stressed because you're just stressed and overloaded, then finding emotional ways to reduce your stress levels is worthwhile.

I'd certainly make sure you're sleeping well and you're trying meditation. Not anything foreign or fancy: just sitting down with your eyes closed and breathing deeply for five minutes. You don't need a fancy zen practice.
