When stress becomes so prevalent in the body, it exposes the body to dangers that could ultimately lead to serious health issues or even death. Stress is something everyone has experienced before, probably everyday of their lives. It can come from the smallest things or it can occur on a larger scale. The larger scale stress can cause multiple dangers to the body, like a stroke or heart attack. These issues could come out of nowhere or they could have been developing for a long time. Scientists do not know how stress, something that seems so miniscule, can put one in a life or death situation. Stress and tension can ultimately affect one’s physical and mental health over time based on examples from Jekyll and Hyde, multiple experiments, and

As a paramedic, you are not only exposed to diseases and injuries, you are also exposed and vulnerable to stress, especially when addressing the immediate needs of others. When a person is subjected to stress, the fight-or-flight system is activated. Preparing yourself on how you react when this system activates is crucial. The paramedic needs to be in control of their emotions and anticipate when their weaknesses will be taxed.

As I watched the “Worried Sick” video, I found many pieces of the research to be really interesting. By taking blood samples and testing it for the stress hormones, I think the scientists were able to get a great sense of what the different animals and people were truly feeling; all of the data collected was very reliable. As a whole, three concepts stuck out to me including the study conducted about the primate vs. the antelope, the effects stress has on the body, and the high impact of personalities on dealing with stress.

In the twenty-first century, young students are feeling the pressure of society’s strenuous demands more than ever, especially in the academic environment. Many of these arduous pressures include maintaining satisfactory grades, acquiring high standardized test scores, and dealing with newly-developed friendships and relationships. As a result of an excessive amount of pressure, stress develops. According to Learn Psychology, a credible and informative psychology organization, “Stress is the body’s reaction to a challenge.” Stress can be both beneficial and detrimental. Learn Psychology, claims “Stress produces a physiological reaction in your body. Hormones are released, which results in physical manifestations of stress...This process is

Reading about stress this week was interesting. One of the quotes from the book I like was “all negative events need not be stressful, and not all positive events are not automatically free from stress” (Gurung, 2014, p. 102). This statement is a good reminder that stress can be different for different people in different situations. I think this is important to remember that people perceive stressful situations differently, and generally there is not a right or wrong way.

I’m so stressed! I remember as a child hearing this phrase from adult figures all around me. From my school teachers to my parents, I might expect to hear them yell out how stressed they were at least once a day. As a child, I did not have a personal connection or understanding of the word stress. However, as I matured in age, I gradually began to gain my own personal understanding of this word. A word that seemed to evoke a plethora of emotions from individuals all around me. Stress in my opinion is a positive feeling that is needed to provide balance to an individual’s life.

Stress is something that comes from overacting or over reacting task in life be from work or on the body. For example a college student is studying for a test, or doing a paper right before it’s due. And they are stressing over the fact they will fail or won’t do as good as what they could have done if they had done the subject when other college students were doing it and picked there time wisely. Another example for the body is you are in a car crash and your body goes into protective mode ready for what’s going to happen, but at the last second the car misses you but still crashes into a poll or tree. As the book says: “stressors are any physical or psychological event or condition that produces physical and emotional reactions.”(Fahey 304)

Kelly McGonigal felt she was doing something wrong by turning stress into the enemy. As a health psychologist her job was to help people be happier and healthier. But was afraid that what she had been teaching for the past years was doing more harm than good. For the last 10 years she told people that stress makes them sick because it increases the risk of getting sick from a common cold to cardiovascular disease. But a study that tracked 30,000 adults in the United States for eight years changed her mind about stress. The study showed that, People who experienced a lot of stress in the previous years had a 43 percent increased risk of dying, but only if they believed that stress was bad for their health. On the other hand people who experienced

Stress is something that everyone has in their life. Stress could be different thing in every person’s life. What do I understand by hearing stress? I stress out when I don’t have enough money to pay my bills. For example: my mortgage, utility bill, car payment, insurances, and child support. Sometimes you get unexpected bills that you did not expect and you are short of money. I also stress out when I have to be at an appointment and there is traffic on the way. I am glad I do not have any anger management issues. When I get stressed I don’t smoke, break the walls or any objects, and do drugs. I am glad in my life I am clean with that. When I get stressed out I take a minute, to bread in and out. I sit down and think what I need to

According to National Institute of Health, stress is an internal state that people experience as they encounter changes throughout their lives.

Concise Oxford Dictionary defines Stress as “pressure or tension exerted on a material object, in

Everyone encounters mental stress from day to day, from major life events to daily hassles. In this paper, both negative and positive effects of stress exercised on human physiological health is investigated. Effects of stress on the immune system, role as a cancer accelerator, pain inducer and cardiac disease initiator is researched upon. Although there are a number of researches supporting both positive and negative effects on human bodies, it is clear that stress can pose severe and even lethal effects on the human body when humans are exposed to stress for a long time.

As we know, people with high-stress level are more susceptible to injury and sickness. Stressed individuals with poor nutrition and sleep disturbance will affect the immune system. Its

When students go home after school they should be able to relax right? In an ideal world students should just be able to take there bag off and chill, go out with friends, play video games or go play sports at the park or something right, but no. Nowadays the average high school teenager has to go home, sit down at a table and basically continue school for another two-three hours. We have to do homework almost immediately after school because if we don’t then we will be up until 12 or later doing homework. Not to mention the students athletes that come home late anyway from practices/games and then have to take a shower, eat dinner and then sit down to finish all of their homework. I attend Montgomery Blair high school, where we have a block schedule so our homework isn’t due for two days which is helpful but most high schools students have eight classes a day and the homework assigned is normally due the next day of school. All of this homework causes stress amongst teenagers. Students have to stress every single day in school to make sure they do well so they can attend the college of their chose, we shouldn’t have to go
