What happens is that, once you come across something which you perceive as stressful (and this will be different for different people) your brain sends a signal to your body to prepare for fight or flight. This causes the release of hormones which act on your body to increase circulation, release sugar stores, stop digestive processes, increase awareness and wakefulness and generally prepare you for strenuous activity – fighting or running!
The response is evolved to be short-term and is harmless when that’s how it is called
into play, as your body quickly gets back to normal. However, with prolonged stress
– which we encounter more often nowadays -- the hormones ,designed for short-term
action, are being produced for much loner periods of time. This is not good for
the body and can:
• raise blood pressure
• increase sugar levels
• lead to abdominal fat deposition
• lead to chronic indigestion.
Raised levels of these hormones also affect your immune
system making it less able to fight infections and more likely to
cause inflammation and auto-immunity. Stress can therefore make some conditions
worse, such as eczema, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis.
If the levels of some of these hormones stay raised for a long time, behavioural problems and sleep disturbances can occur.
