What do we call stress?

Stress is the non-specific reaction of the organism for every stimulus that throws it off balance and forces it to adapt the new circumstances. Stress helps the organism to avoid chronic vegetating, it kick-starts our body and prepares our mind to solve critical problems in the shorter time as possible. Basically, we can distinguish a “good” and “bad” type of stress:

-eustress: This is the good kind of stress makes it seems easier to solve any kind of problems.

-distress: That’s the bad type of stress. Nowadays this is an epidemic sickness, which is most of the time caused by the workplace problems, and the super fast lifestyle we lead. The chronic distress causes illnesses like cancer, heart attacks, and much more.
