What is Stress

Stress is a huge term, in this article, we will let our readers learn what is stress? It is defined as a response by a body due to stimulus. This response is usually non-specific. Stress can be in various forms which can harm an individual if coping style is not effective. It is basically a physical response against the stressful situation.

It can be taken both as positively and negatively, it all is solely dependent on the respective person that how he/she perceives it. When we say we are in stress that simply means that an individual is having changes in physiological response which are adaptive and solely occur as a reaction to that stressor. Whenever in stress, a person’s flight or fight response get activated. Under many circumstances, a stress is said to be beneficial which simply means that it helps us to get more focused and increase our attention span. 

It has various kinds. It can either be physical i.e. a person is feeling afraid due to some stimulus or it can be an emotional too which is usually due to some unpleasant situation about which a person constantly worries. Proper identification of the stressors is very crucial as it enables a person to learn how to deal with it. 

There are some of the common sources of stress, let's discuss it here:

1.    Internal stress 

It is usually when a person occupies himself with all the thoughts and possibilities which are not practical apparently and a person doesn’t have any control over it. By thinking and persistent over thinking they make their lives miserable and constant worry make them vulnerable thereby, can affect their health.

2.    Survival stress: 

This type of stress is said to be due to a life-threatening situation which can harm a person badly. Under such kind of physical stress person needs to take immediate measures to protect himself. Under such condition, body’s flight or fight response gets activated so that a person can increase their focus and take prompt actions to get them out of that situation.

3.    Environmental stress: 

Pressure due to the environment such as excessive work, noise or some unpleasant situation.

4.    Fatigue and over-work: 

This sort of stress is very common especially in today’s time when everyone is so much overloaded with work and loads of commitments. This stress usually results when an individual is not able to manage his/her time effectively and they pile up their work.

It is very much important to learn how to cope and get rid of the stress because if coping strategies are not effective then long-term exposure to stress can negatively affect the health of an individual.

What we have discussed earlier is all about stress taken in a negative way which is usually regarded as a distress. However, there is another kind of stress that helps a person to perform effectively. This is called as eustress. It is usually when a person takes the stress positively and works in a better way.

The Frightening rate at which the smokers die from smoking

The Frightening rate at which the smokers die from smoking

According to the recent research from the Australia, two third of the smokers will die early because of the illness triggered by the cigarette, unless they opt to quit the habit.

The study, published this week in the BMC medicine, of more than 200000 people showed that around 67 percent of the smokers are perished from the smoking related illness. This rate is much higher than the doctors estimated earlier.

The Frightening rate at which the smokers die from smoking

 The tobacco smoke can boost up the risks for minimum 13 types of cancer. The earlier you quit is the best. The study stated that the relative risks of adverse health effects inflate with enhanced intensity of smoking, measured by the quantity of tobacco smoked on daily basis and with increasing the duration of the smoking.

The research showed that the risk of death is doubled by smoking 10 cigarettes daily and smoking a pack every day quadruples it.

A researcher, co-author Emily Banks, at the Australian National University, said that they knew smoking was bad but now they have independent and direct evidence which confirms the alarming findings that have internationally been emerging.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a computed 42.1 million Americans smoke the cigarettes. The top reason of preventable diseases and the death in United States is the cigarette smoking, accounting for more than 480000 deaths each year, the agency reported, or one in the fives.

However, putting aside the emotional turmoil, smoking is bad for the wallets too. A study of Ohio State University found that the employees who smoke tobacco cost the employers around $6000 extra annually in productivity and the health care than the non smokers.

From the New England Journal of Medicine, another study shows that the health care costs, on average, for the smokers tend to be 40 percent higher. This same research suggests darkly that we all would save the money in short term if the cigarette from the earth vanished but night be paying more down the line as all would live longer.

How to get the Americans to quit the habit, the policy makers have long wondered. According to the research from the University of Michigan, in some areas youth smoking has been reduced by adding excise taxes to the cigarette packs. Around 30 percent of the adults smoke who are living below the poverty level, compared with 16 percent who are living at or above the poverty level.

The WHO (World Health Organization) recommends invoking the smoke free public places and developing supportive environments for the people to part with their packs. Meanwhile, the CDC distributes the advice like How to live with a hole in your neck?
