Stress is a state of mental and physical pressure resulting from an imbalance between specific demands and the individual’s ability and motivation to meet those demands. In a stressful event, our body produces larger quantities of the chemicals cortisol, adrenaline, and noradrenaline, which trigger a higher heart rate and sweating. These biological events demand high energy and are harmful when they persist for long.
Prolonged stress leads to long-term health concerns, such as:
An imbalance in 3 main mental functions: Dhi (learning), Dhriti (retention), and Smriti (long-term memory), along with a lack of ‘Ojas’ (energy) in the body, makes us unable to deal with stress.
