Sounds contradictory, doesn't it? But its a fact, nevertheless. Modern life of today creates tension, fear and anxiety, plunging us into a state of stress and depression. The result is that diseases strike. This stress is accrued through many reasons ranging from domestic quarrels, sudden and unexpected turn of events, professional deadlines and other reasons of security, economy and emotional dealings. This mental stress may even cause spots and irritation on the skin. When the person faces a tough task in his life, his body naturally prepares itself to meet the crisis. The fight or flight response, as it is called, increases the heartbeat, secretes more of hormones in cartisols, adrenalin and other glands and mixes with the blood. The brain too is readied by the extra supply of oxygen and blood to it to meet the challenge. These biological changes are necessary to combat any new situation
or challenge. Thus stress, though cannot be completely overcome, needs to be kept under control. A life free of stress is not conducive to growth as a over-stressed life is.
