Stress: Our Body’s Enemy
Our lives are filled with stress. Our body’s stress response is what helped our ancestors
survive, enabling them to fight or flee from danger. But in today's world, most stressors
are psychological, rather than physical. a) But stress more often than
not has a negative effect on one’s life.
During “fight-or-flight” situations, the blood flow is directed to areas of the body
considered vital for responding to the stress. b) Instead of reducing
the stress level once the crisis has passed, our stress hormones, heart rate, and blood
pressure remain at a high level. Extended or repeated activation of the stress response
affects the body. Stress causes damage to the cardiovascular system and suppression of
our immune system, which threaten one's ability to fight off disease and infection.
Stress can cause damaging effects to our skin as well. Recent studies in mice shed new
light on the effects of psychological stress on skin function. c)
Deterioration of the skin barrier may have destructive consequences to the quality and
appearance of the skin. Many skin disorders such as eczema, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis
and rosacea have been linked to a compromised skin barrier function and stress only
encourages the visible symptoms such as inflammation.
Stress can also trigger acne. Acne forms when oily secretions beneath the skin fill up the
pores. d) .

Exercise regularly. Exercise improves blood flow, and muscle tone throughout your body,
plus, it helps normalize blood sugar and hormone levels. e) Proper
nutrition is extremely important to keep stress hormones in check and to maintain a healthy
immune system. Get enough sleep. Lack of sleep can increase the impact stress has on our
health and well-being, so be sure to get your seven to eight hours a night.

1) An increase in the stress hormone stimulates them which can exacerbate oily skin, thus
leading to acne.
2) Stress can have a positive effect on people's job performance, for example an increase
of adrenaline just prior to a presentation will give the speaker focus and energy.
3) Some, such as smoking and excessive drinking, make stress and health worse.
4) Researchers showed that in response to high levels of stress, an increase of plasma
glucucortoids caused a deterioration of the skin’s barrier function.
5) The problem with the stress response is that the more it is activated, the harder it
becomes to shut off.
6) Eat healthy, lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, and avoid excessive levels of sugar,
caffeine and junk food.
