This week we got back from the break and we missed school on Monday due to a power outage then Wednesday we study for the test we started on Thursday and we are finishing it tomorrow. So since we didn’t do very much I watched a TED-ED about how stress can make you sick.
Stress is not just an emotion it’s also a hard-wired physical response throughout your entire body. In the short term, stress can be advantageous but in long term, it overwhelms your body and damages certain organs.your adrenal gland releases your stress hormones cortisol, epinephrine, and Norpinehrine and they travel through your bloodstream they easily reach your blood vessels and heart (they are also known as adrenaline) and adrenaline causes your heart to beat faster and raises your blood pressure over time causing hypertension. It increases so many diseases and causes a lot of problems in your body. If you want a longer life you have to cure the cause of your chronic stress.
