Stress & Anxiety

Tips for stress and anxiety

Stress is our body’s natural reaction to a demand or threat.It triggers your body’s fight, freeze or flight response, which causes a surge of hormones that would have helped our ancestors to run away from the stressor or fight it. It is supposed to be a short, sharp response to danger. But if you feel stressed a lot of the time, you put a lot of pressure on your health.



Some stress is helpful as it can motivate you to meet a deadline or get things done. But long-term stress can increase the risk of many serious health conditions, such as high blood pressure, obesity and diabetesheart diseaseirritable bowel syndrome (IBS)headaches and muscle pain.

  • headaches, muscle tension, neck or back pain
  • dry mouth
  • feeling anxious or jittery
  • being more irritable or angry than normal
  • overeating or loss of appetite and not eating well
