BENEFITS OF STRESS IN OUR LIVES


             How many times we are about to be hit by a car? When was the last time that you confronted with an unexpected task deadline at work? After works, we left these situations away. But what happened in these kinds of “limit situations”?, the explanation is “easy”: the brain perceives physical or psychological stress, it starts pumping the chemicals cortisol, epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine into the body, the heart beats faster, blood pressure increases, senses sharpen, our glucose invigorates us and we're ready to run, or to   leap away from the car, to think faster or just work or do it.  How our body can do many things in just one second? The answer for this question should be that our body needs stress to a certain degree and it improves our lives and our skill in many ways.
            One of the ways that stress is beneficial for us is in our mental State. For example, the best artist’s creation comes as a result of a lot of head-pounding frustration and borderline agony. “Stress often precedes or accompanies creative breakthroughs”, says Larine Kasey, PhD, a Pennsylvania-based psychologist and the author of The Confident Leader: How the Most Successful People Go from Effective to Exceptional.   In Addition, in order to preserve our mental abilities longer and to prevent Alzheimer's disease,an irreversible and progressive brain disease, people should  keep their brains in constant activity.  Likewise, an optimal level of stress may get you a rise in your job because maintain your being motivated, focused and energized, which are necessary in order to raise effectiveness.
           Furthermore, Stress strengthens our physical state. For instance, stress keeps us   healthier after surgical or medical treatments, according with studies from Medicine School in UCLA. Also, a certain level of stress gets your body in shape because stress produces endorphins which are diuretics.
            Moreover, Stress helps us to solve problems. Stress from a dilemma in our life to take big decisions in our lives, this type of worrying may actually be beneficial. Here’s why, says Dr. Kase, a physiologist from Setton Hall University, says “Stress illuminates our values”. Also, our capacity of reaction in dangerous times depends in our level of stress and blood pressure. Other example, how stress can be solving troubles, according to some experts, mothers who feel more stress may keep their kids out of harm’s way.
            In conclusion, the theory of “stay away of stress” doesn’t mean healthier life always. Sometimes, we are re going to have to figure out what parts of our future we can control, and we'll need to engage with them thoughtfully. Fortunately, we have the kind of brain that permits be worry about troubles. Sure, taking care about our fears will be stressful. However, being preoccupied  isn’t harmful because being a little stressed should be convenient and useful.
