What is your reaction to this chapter? My first reaction was connected to myself and my own experiences, I noticed that in daily basis sometimes we are not actually conscious and how stress affects our body and how we need to release it out of our body. After taking Holmes’s test I realized I have been exposed to a lot of stress on the past year and lately I have been working on let everything fluid in the natural way.

    For instance, "We do not process information as a computer does, dispassionately; we react to it physically" (Coates, 2014, para. 8).

He also provides clarity for biological concepts by saying, "As such, most stress is not, well, stressful. For example, when you walk to the coffee room at work, your muscles need fuel, so the stress hormones adrenaline and cortisol recruit glucose from your liver and muscles; you need oxygen to burn this fuel, so your breathing increases ever so slightly; and you need to deliver this fuel and oxygen to cells throughout your body, so your heart gently speeds up and blood pressure increases" (Coates, 2014, para. 7).

This results in a wide spectrum of heat-related illnesses, ranging from minor conditions such as heat cramps and heat exhaustion to the more severe condition known as heat stroke. Heat stroke is defined as a core body temperature of beyond 40.60C, commonly associated with the dysfunction of the Central Nervous System (CNS) and the failure of multiple organ systems, which may ultimately result in disability or death.
