• Muscles become tense
• We do not sleep (heightened state of alertness)

Consider the following important points:

·        Eating Habit

Maintaining a healthy diet and staying fit is a good thing to do. This is because, even if we know what we’re supposed to be eating, there are additional factors that influence how much and what type of food we consume. One of these factors is stress, which is linked to increase emotional eating. We must manage it.

·        Wrong Attitude Significantly Increases Your Stress Level

We all experience stress, but the pessimists, perfectionists, and those with 'type A' personalities (to name a few) greatly increase the level of stress they experience in a given event, and even bring more stressful events into their lives with their self sabotage thought and behavior patterns.

·        Some Types of Stress Can Be Beneficial

For instance, a certain type of stress is actually necessary and beneficial for a balanced and exciting life. This is the type of stress you experience when you're riding a roller-coaster (if you enjoy fast rides), are playing a fun game, or are falling in love. This makes us feel vital and alive.

·        You Can Stop Your Stress Reaction Right Now

When you experience stress, all manner of physiological changes occur to get you in top physical shape to fight or run. Unfortunately, if you don't calm yourself down relatively quickly, you could remain in this altered state for too long, and it could take a toll on your health. Practicing stress relievers like breathing exercises and meditation can calm you down quickly, returning your body to normal.

·        Even Small Amounts of Stress Can Affect Your Health

As seen in the list up, you may be aware that months spent in a stressful life situation can leave you vulnerable to illness, but did you know that relatively short periods of stress can also compromise your immune system, elevating your risk of illness? Sadly, it's true. Manage your stress.

Some stress is inevitable, but you can structure your life in ways that buffer you from stress and stressful events.

·        Stress Can Age You Prematurely in Many Ways

It may be surprising, but stress can be more of a factor in determining your physical age than the number of candles you blow out each year. Stress actually speeds up wear and tear on many, many areas of your body and at all levels, inducing many of the changes we refer to when we talk about 'aging'.

·        Not Everyone Experiences Stress In The Same Way

Certain inborn personality traits and learned thought patterns can cause two people who live through the same event to experience it very differently, with one person finding it extremely stressful and the other finding it only mildly stressful or not at all. Some of these traits you can't change, but others you can alter to a large degree. Even if you don’t have stress, some things can alter your experience of stress.
