How Stress Affects Us: A 2-Minute Explanation!

Stress is often seen as a major factor that negatively impacts our physical and mental well-being. However, stress is actually a crucial survival mechanism that helps living things handle threats and adapt to challenges. For humans, our advanced cognitive abilities sometimes lead us to experience stress even when there are no immediate threats present, taking what should be a short-term survival response and turning it into a chronic issue.
Join us in this video as we explore why we experience stress, what precisely happens during our stress reactions, and how this mechanism has evolved in humans. We'll discuss how stress, while essential for survival, can sometimes go beyond its intended use, leaving us with negative effects. Understanding this can help us manage stress better and improve our overall well-being.
