How stress affects our body

Fri, Oct 18, 2013

It produces hormones that weaken the immune system and damage bones. The stress response begins in the brain, when a threat is detected a number of structures including the hypothalamus, amygdala, and pituitary gland, go on alert, they exchange information with each other and then send signalling hormones and nerve impulses to the rest of the body, to prepare for the flight. The body then unleashes a flood of hormones. It is essential that stress related symptoms are confronted in the proper manner to avoid disease setting in.
