Stress is a natural part of everyday living. Everyone goes through stress from performing everyday responsibilities; challenging life events also trigger stress. The body responds to stress by releasing hormones that prepare the body to react adequately. This response (quick reaction) is aimed at protecting the body in emergency situations. However, when there's continuous firing of the stress response, health is at risk.

Chronic stress affects the body's systems in several ways and causes a variety of symptoms, affecting overall well-being.
