Summary

Stress can be defined as the body's general response to any type of demand or change. It is a non-specific reaction that can be triggered by various factors such as physical, mental, or emotional challenges. When faced with stressors, the body undergoes physiological changes designed to adapt or confront the demand. These responses can include increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, heightened alertness, and the release of stress hormones. Ultimately, stress serves as a natural and automatic mechanism that prepares the body to deal with potential threats or demands.
