STRESS

Stress disturbs the body’s homeostasis and enables you to adapt to encountered situations. It is the body’s response to a stressor, which is an internal or external stimulus that is interpreted as a threat to the body’s equilibrium, and prepares it for action.

• Environmental Stressors – environmental conditions, noise, vibrations.
• Physiological Stressors – fatigue, lack of physical fitness, improper eating habits, hunger, thirst, cold/too hot, humidity, dehydration, vibration, accelerations;
• Psychological/emotional stress – inter-personal conflicts, discrimination, fear of failure, death of a relative, divorce, financial problems, job insecurity.
