Understanding Stress and Its Impact on Resilience

Stress is defined as the situation when demand exceeds capacity, encompassing physical, emotional, and mental aspects. Acute stress in the moment can enhance focus and energy, aiding in problem-solving, while chronic stress, lasting over time, can lead to negative health repercussions like an inflammatory response, potentially increasing the risk for disease. Recognizing the difference between beneficial tolerable stress and toxic stress is crucial in managing stress effectively.
