It is a daily challenge and it affects all aspects of our daily lives,but what do we really know about STRESS? 

The most important aspect of stress is the body’s response to a stressor. Your stress response iscontrolled by your nervous system. Let’s say you are involved in a near miss automobile accident.  Your stress response would include: Increased sweating, goose bumps, increased respiration, pupildilation, increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, increased muscle activity in the head andneck, increased adrenalin secretion, increased blood delivery to muscles, decreased blood deliveryto the abdomen, decreased hand temperature and heightened brain activity.

All of these responses are normal during a life-threatening event, even though they are verydemanding on the body. However, if this highly aroused state is inappropriately activated and/orremains in effect for long periods of time, not allowing the body to return to a normal relaxedstate, it creates severe damage to the normal functions of the body. 

Therefore, the real challenge of the stress response is the ability of your nervous system to regulatethe response appropriately. When the nervous system loses the ability to regulatethissystem, our long-term health is at risk.  So how do we know if your nervous system is functioning normally?
