opriate defensive action (fight response) uses up the hormones in the blood leading to lessening of stress or anxiety symptoms. On the other hand, when we fail to raise our defences (flight response), these hormones continue to remain in the blood stream for a longer time. This causes physical symptoms such as tense muscles, anxiety, dizziness and palpitation.

Each day, all of us are exposed to various stressors (stress factors). If not combatted and overcome, stress continues to accumulate, putting the body and mind in a constant state of alarm-fight or flee. This weakens the immunity system and paves the way for acute and chronic psychosomatic illnesses such as:

Headaches and Backaches
Eating disorders and Irritable bowels
Asthma and Allergies
Sleeplessness and Fatigue
Cold
Hypertension
Diabetes
Heart problems
Cancer

Stress related problems and disorders are on the rise, as is evident from the increasing number of patients visiting psychologists. Reaction to stress depends on the individual-different people react to stress differently. What matters is how efficiently one can cope with it.

And cope with it you can -a plethora of ways exist! To help you amble along the path of low stress, here are a few pointers
