How does stress contribute to the risk of chronic disease? How to prevent it? Stress is similar to spice, when used correctly, it enriches the flavour of a meal. If you eat less of it, your meal will be bland; if you eat excessively, you will choke. Stress is a natural instinct of the inability to deal with various needs and situations. However, if an individual does not take action to overcome their stress, it could become a lifelong illness.

What is stress? Stress can be triggered by any event or thought that provokes you to feel annoyed, mad, or anxious. Your brain's response to a problem or demand is called stress. Stress can be beneficial in short intervals, including when it helps you forgo threats or meet a time limit. Even when things are going well, it is possible to be stressed. What are the signs of stress? Psychosomatic symptoms are among the early symptoms. Despair or fear, indecision, nervousness, anger, feeling down, frustration, sleeplessness, and depression are some of the mental symptoms. When a person is stressed, they may also experience severe mood swings. Feeling nauseous, indigestion, sweating, irregular heartbeats, headache or migraine, difficulty breathing, and other physical symptoms are common.
