The stress response occurs when external or internal factors cause the body's adrenal glands to put out excess epinephrine, norepinephrine, and cortisol. These response hormones can result in an increased heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and blood glucose levels. A stressor can be anything from having a bad day at the office, relationship issues, physical or emotional distress, financial problems, and a whole host of other things that infiltrate our daily lives, resulting in a stress response. While stress is normal, too much of it, or too often, can lead to negative effects on your health. In this book we discuss how to recognize stress and how to minimize its effects to keep you from getting old before your time.
