Stress

Stress is your body’s way of responding to any kind of demand or threat. When you feel stressed, your muscles tighten, your heart beats faster, and your breath quickens. It’s like your body’s alarm system going off.

Stress isn’t just in your head; it affects your whole body. Sometimes, stress can help you focus and get stuff done. But too much stress, or stress that lasts too long, can wear you out and mess up your health.
