Introduction

The human body has a built-in physical response to various adverse conditions. These conditions are faced with pressure, challenge or danger and the body needs to react quickly. For this, the body release hormones like cortisol and adrenaline to help doing this. These hormones play major role for the “fight or flight” response and then involve the metabolic rate, heart-rate and the blood pressure. This all result in a heightened – or stressed – state, which prepares the body for optimum performance to deal with a stressful or depressed situation.

Very frequently, modern stresses do not call for fight or flight. However, the same stressing hormones are released as a response to the reaction and this natural procedure against the challenge or danger, instead of helping, can alter health and reduce the ability to stabilize mentally and physically.
