Stress in everyday life
For many of us our nervous system does not distinguish between different types of stress. Being chased by a lion and finishing the project on time can have the same response. In turn we become so reliant on the fight or flight response that we develop a resistance to these messages. As a result the flood of stress hormones can wreak havoc on our health.
