Every human thought and action is accompanied by electrical activity in the nervous system. Our cells network together

Definitions of Stress:
• Stress is defined as
a nonspecific response of the body to any demand made upon it which results in symptoms such as rise in the blood pressure,
release of hormones, quickness of breath, tightening of muscles, perspiration, and increased cardiac activity. Stress is not
necessarily negative. Some stress keeps us motivated and alert, while too little stress can create problems. However, too
much stress can trigger problems with mental and physical health, particularly over a prolonged period of time.
