work stress

To talk about “stress”, from my point of view, is very difficult, because it does not manifest in the same form or intensity in all of population.

Looking for a definition, I found the next: “It is about the “nervous tension” caused by overwhelming situations, which cause psychosomatic reactions.
Stress is physical or psychological demand out of the ordinary, causing an anxious state in the body."

The stress depends on personal characteristics, so that sometimes we don´t recognize the symptoms of this.
The stress can manifest physical (chest tightness, tachycardia, hair falls, increased breathlessness, muscle tension, fatigue, diarrhea or constipation, corporal tremors, etc) emotional (worry, feeling of nervousness, anxiety, irritability, felt like crying, catastrophic thinking, impaired memory, constant mood swings, depression, etc) and behavioral (nervous laugh, grind his/her teeth, drinking or smoking more frequently, sexual problems, nervous tic, oversleep or insomnia, etc).
Is important we recognize the signs of stress because when stress is part of our daily lives, we got used to it. We don´t realize how it affects our health and our lives in general, until we get sick or problems beyond us.

In general, stress can be caused by any stimulus that promotes the destabilization of the dynamic equilibrium of body.

I would say that the people most affected by work stress problems are those who work with many people (as school teachers, bus drivers or ER staff) or those having a routine life and don´t give themselves time to do extracurricular activities.

Is important that we know that when this situation persists, emerging health problems or impact on other areas of life of the individual. For example, stress that began with an economic problem, can cause family or work coflicts.

Healthy lifestyle


Hello classmates!

I tell you… I think that having a healthy lifestyle in our days is a big challenge, however it is not impossible.
I remember one class last term, in the subject “Community health”, and the teacher talked about this topic.
In general, when you talk about healthy lifestyle, people think only about “food”. For this reason, most of the population, when they want to live healthily, they simply go on a "diet". But I remember that that day we concluded that this means more…
First, we must be clear that a healthy lifestyle involves our whole being, I mean the physical, the psychic and even spiritual part.
Of course, you must eat all of the food pyramid (carbohydrates, fruits, vegetables, proteins in the meet and eggs, fish, and sugar too). And you must eat it in the right amount.
For your body also you need to take exercises, and it was better if you are led by an expert, at least three times at week.


Second, you should try not to stress (this is bad for your health), however, you must take it all in stride, enjoy the time you have to share with your family, your friends, your boyfriend / girlfriend and with the nature, overcoat in the holidays time.
For you to feel good about yourself, you should wear clothing that suits you (this is also part of a healthy lifestyle), not too tight and not fabrics that can cause allergy.

Finally, for you have a healthy lifestyle, you need have a relationship with your creator, God.
