Stress can lead to more serious hlth problems.
However, managing stress can lead to a healthier life. Each person's body reacts to positive stress such as the birth of a child or a wedding and to negative stress such as the death of a close friend or relative. How each individual handles stress and the physical hormonal changes that occur varies. Stress causes hormones like adrenaline to surge in your body. Your heartbeat and blood pressure increase, and you blood sugar rises.
