Why Does Stress Should Be Reduced in People’s Live? In modern life, stress is so common that it has become a part of life. Stress is not always bad. Stress with positive force can help us perform under pressure, motivate us to do our best such as studying for exam, working with deadline or a job interview. However, when stress is a negative force, it can adversely affect everything in our live such as health, mood, relationship and quality of life. Therefore, stress is a harmful force, and it should be reduced in people’s live. Let’s talk about stress. Stress is body’s way of responding to many kind of demand, and it can be caused by both good and bad experiences. In addition, stress happens when people can’t face with pressure, and this pressure can be in many shapes and forms. But, a negative stress can cause may horrible physiological reactions for people. Physical effects, nervous system effects and psychosocial effects are the main effects that stress can cause on human’s body. The first is physical stress effects; according to Stress Symptoms, Signs, and Cause, a negative stress can cause many physical effects on human’s body such as weigh gain, hair loss, digestives problem, heart attack, etc. The research’s show that 40 percent of deaths and 70 percent of diseases in the United States are related to stress. For example, hair loss is the most common stress, and this stress usually have been seen in individuals who have a difficult pregnancy, have a member dead in family, or worry too much. These conditions push roots of hair into a resting phase, so the hair will much more falls out than grows. The second is nervous system effects. The nervous system has several divisions, and one of them is the sympathetic nervous system (SNS). When the body is stressed, SNS signals the adrenal glands to release hormones that cause some change inside the body to deal with the emergency. If it is a negative stress, it will cause many nervous systems such as headache, etc. For example, 80 percent of adults have headache at some time in their lives. The third is psychosocial effects. Psychosocial stress happens in people’s daily routines and in social and physical environments. With negative stress, people will get any psychosocial effects such as hassles, technostress, academic and financial pressure, etc. For example, hassles is made by the people who can be just as stressful as major as big changes in their life such as listening to classmates, who talk too much during lecture, etc. These people who have hassles can have disappointed, anger, run or violent responses. The negative stresses can cause many horrible effects and worse experiences. However, these stresses are a part of life, so we cannot hide from them. Therefore, we need to have any method to deal with stress such as exercising regularly, getting enough sleep, eating properly, learning to relax, practicing yoga and tai-chi, etc. For example, tai-chi and yoga can help to clear people’s mind and progressive muscle relaxation. To sum up, stress is the way of body response to many kind of demand, and it can be caused by both good and bad experiences. The negative stresses can horrible affect to people’s physical body, nervous system and social psychology. However, we cannot hide from stress because stress is apart in each person’s life, so we need any method to deal with stress such as eating heathy food, practicing yoga and tai-chi, etc.
