WHAT IS STRESS ?
The stress response of the body is
somewhat like an airplane readying for take-off. Virtually all systems (eg, the heart and blood
vessels, the immune system, the lungs, the digestive system, the sensory organs, and brain) are
modified to meet the perceived danger.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE MOST COMMON CAUSES OF STERESS ?
Stress can arise for a variety of
reasons. Stress can be brought about by a traumatic accident, death, or emergency situation.
Stress can also be a side effect of a serious illness or disease.
There is also stress associated
with daily life, the workplace, and family responsibilities. It's hard to stay calm and relaxed
in our hectic lives. As women, we have many roles: spouse, mother, caregiver, friend, and/or
worker. With all we have going on in our lives, it seems almost impossible to find ways to
de-stress. But it's important to find those ways. Your health depends on it.
WHAT ARE SOME EARLY SIGNS OF STRESS ?
Stress can take on many different
forms, and can contribute to symptoms of illness. Common symptoms include headache, sleep
disorders, difficulty concentrating, short-temper, upset stomach, job dissatisfaction, low
morale, depression, and anxiety.
HOW DOES STRESS AFFECTS MY BODY and my health?
Everyone has stress. We have
short-term stress, like getting lost while driving or missing the bus. Even everyday events,
such as planning a meal or making time for errands, can be stressful. This kind of stress can
make us feel worried or anxious.
Other times, we face long-term
stress, such as racial discrimination, a life-threatening illness, or divorce. These stressful
events also affect your health on many levels. Long-term stress is real and can increase your
risk for some health problems, like depression.
Both short and long-term stress
can have effects on your body. Research is starting to show the serious effects of stress on our
bodies. Stress triggers changes in our bodies and makes us more likely to get sick. It can also
make problems we already have worse. It can play a part in these problems :

DOES STRESS CAUSE ULCERS ?
Doctors used to think that ulcers
were caused by stress and spicy foods. Now, we know that stress doesn't cause ulcers?it just
irritates them. Ulcers are actually caused by a bacterium (germ) called H. pylori. Researchers
don't yet know for sure how people get it. They think people might get it through food or
water. It's treated with a combination of antibiotics and other drugs.
