STRESS
STRESS- is the body's reaction to a change that requires a physical, mental or emotional adjustment or response. Stress can come from any situation or thought that makes you feel frustrated, angry, nervous, or anxious. Dealing with serious illness or caring for someone who is can cause a great deal of stress.
To get ride of stress one should love her/himself. The meaning of love is to be keen on oneself and care and adore others. If you love yourself then you love others. Loving yourself is not being a selfish. It is adoration feeling and it is devotion and passionate towards the life and the universe. The Almighty is compassionate and Merciful, so should be human beings. When you love yourself you are appreciating what the Almighty has given you. Nu-conditional love of a mother who embracing her child is a typical meaning of love.
Stress is your body's way of responding to any kind of demand. It can be caused by both good and bad experiences. When people feel stressed by something going on around them, their bodies rest by releasing chemicals into the blood. These chemicals give people more energy and strength, which can be a good thing if their stress is caused by physical danger.
Many different things can cause stress- from physical (such as fear of something dangerous) to emotional (such as worry over your family or job.) One needs to find out what causes the stress.

1) Depression 2) Diabetes 3) Heart disease 4) Hyperthyroidism 5) Obesity 6) Tooth and gum disease 7) Sexual dysfunction
How Does Stress Affect Us.
Stress can affect both our body and our mind. people under large amounts of stress can become tired, sick, and unable to concentrate or think clearly. Sometimes, they even suffer mental breakdown.
The sympathetic nervous system responds by releasing a flood of stress hormones, including adrenaline, norepinephrine, and cortisol. These stress hormones race through the bloodstream, readying us to either flee the scene or battle it out. Heart rate and blood flow to the large muscles increase so we can run faster and fight harder. Blood vessels under the skin constrict to prevent blood loss in case of injury, pupils dilate so we can see better, and our blood sugar ramps up, giving us an energy boost and speeding up reaction time. At the same time, body processes not essential to immediate survival are suppressed. The digestive and reproductive systems slow down, growth hormones are switched off, and the immune response is inhibited.
SIGNS & SYMPTOMS OF STRESS
To get a handle on stress, you first need to learn how to recognize it in yourself. Stress affects the mind, body and behavior in many ways - all directly tied to the physiological changes of the fight -or -flight response. The specific signs and symptoms of stress vary widely from person to person. Some people primarily experience physical symptoms, such as low back pain, stomach problems, and skin outbreaks. In others, the stress pattern centrers around emotional symptoms, such as crying jags, or hypersensitivity. For still others, changes in the way they think or behave predominates.
