Stress takes a major toll on our bodies.
When we experience it, our bodies automatically respond with physical changes. These include increases in blood pressure, heart rate, breathing rate, metabolism and blood flow to muscles. Such physical responses are meant to help us deal with temporary emergencies or crises. Afterwards, our bodies are meant to return to a non-stressed state. Today however, life causes many of us to have extended periods of stress.
