WHAT IS STRESS??

Stress is the body's natural response to a new and demanding stimulus. It causes the release of adrenaline, which allows us to make quick decisions, respond to the challenges and stay alert. Some people are experiencing chronic stress, which adds to the cardiovascular system and can even lead to depression. The sense of control and the positive attitude help you to cope with the symptoms of stress and relax.
