In this competitive world we tend to be more interested in things that can be measured by achievement and income. Not surprisingly, almost every day we struggle with stress, despite the fact that the stress would harm the body.
Various studies show the stress associated with various diseases of modern man, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, cancer and other illnesses, including impotence.
In a recent study indicated the presence of neither stress the sympathetic nervous system will issue a wave of nor epinephrine, which is a response to fight or escape (flight or fight). Meanwhile, parts of the brain pituitary release the hormone cortical that floods the bloodstream.
Basically, this stress responseaim to make our stand. When feel there is danger will come, for example, a car would hit your body releases stress hormones, so we are more alert, more agile and have quick reaction so that we can escape from danger.

But the body cannot distinguish between physical and mental threats. Body response to stress was not much use when we are experiencing mental distress. So when we panic deadline, the body's reaction will be like when we will be hit by a car. If there is constantly this will begin to cause problems.
"In all beings on this planet, stress is a short-term crisis to confront or avoid this response. But as human beings when we sit we are also being wracked by a variety of things that cause stress and this took place almost every day," said Robert Sapolsky, neurologist and author of Why Zebras Do not Get Ulcers this.
When the system continues to face the body's stress reactions that surfaced and disappeared again and again, sometimes the control system becomes uncontrollable.
"The system of regulation of the body becomes damaged. At first this will make people become super-reactive on the incidence of stress, but sometimes after all this time the nervous system becomes exhausted and unable to respond properly again," said Nim Tottenham, psychologist.
That's why "soldiers" guard the immune system becomes weak so that a virus or bacteria can invade the body without a fight.
