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.
