In 1936, Canadian scientist G.Selye suggested that the body has the ability to overcome long- or short-term negative living conditions and described this with the term "adaptation syndrome." This situation was later included in the literature as a stress reaction.
A series of reactions occur in the bodies of animals and humans under the influence of external or internal stimuli in order to protect the body from the negative consequences of these factors and to overcome the problems. The purpose of these reactions is to correct or restore the disturbed balances of the body.
The factors that create stress and the responses to them are numerous and vary from one individual to another, even the same stress can sometimes create different reactions for the same individual. A wide range of health problems, infections, surgeries, anesthesia, accidents, climate, environmental and spatial changes, occupational conditions, physical, psychological (mental) traumas, exams, success or failures, loss of a relative, family problems, other situations that cause sadness, various medications. and countless factors can trigger these reactions.
Since stress situations cause the excess release of some hormones in the body, mainly cortisone and adrenaline (and noradrenaline), these hormones are called stress hormones. . These hormones indirectly affect metabolism (sugar, fat and protein), secretions of sweat glands and other hormones, especially adrenaline, blood pressure and circulation, heart rate rhythm and the immune system. Many diabetics find that their blood sugar rises during times of stress. Hair loss or graying completely within a day due to stress, menstrual irregularities in women due to climate and location changes, changes in the rhythm of bowel movements and urination are some other examples of stress reactions.
Wishing everyone a stress-free life.
