GOOD STRESS vs BAD STRESS

I have read in “ezyhealth & beauty” about this. Yes , believe it or not, there is such thing as good stress. In fact, good stress even has a name – “eustress”. Positive stress gives us the energy to perform at higher levels when it’s required. It’s the energy that helps you write your best report or ace your tennis game. Distress, on the other hand refers to negative stress. This is the one that causes physical and emotional problems that may damage both your health and your performance. Furthermore, stress grows! Excessive worrying leads to a laundry list of conditions such as immune disorders, insomnia, hypertension, fatigue, depression and a host of other issues. In our fast-forward society, distress is epidemic.
