Stress - Frequently Asked Questions

• What is stress?

Stress causes a disturbance in the mental health and physical well-being of a person. Stress can be caused by physical or emotional stimuli, such as violence, internal conflicts, job dissatisfaction, or external events like divorce, death of a friend or relative, job change or a move. Stress is a part of normal life and probably can't be eliminated. The body reacts to physical or emotional stress by increasing production of hormones such as cortisol and epinephrine, which increase heart rate, blood pressure, and metabolism, to help the body react quickly to the stressful situation. Unfortunately, the type of stress experienced by most people today is not a fleeting occurrence.

When the body's response to stress is sustained at a high level, it disrupts a person's ability to cope. Emotional or physical stress causes depletion of vitamins B and C, and several minerals, potassium, phosphorus, and calcium, and protein. This depletion causes the body to react even more strongly to stress. Replacing these nutrients, particularly the vitamins, makes it easier to handle stress.
