How Your Body Handles Stress: The Role of Adrenaline

When you're stressed, your body activates the "fight or flight" response, releasing adrenaline (also known as epinephrine) from the adrenal glands. This hormone increases heart rate, boosts energy, and enhances alertness to prepare you to face a threat. Adrenaline also directs blood to vital organs and muscles, preparing the body for quick action. While this response is essential for short-term survival, prolonged stress and continuous adrenaline release can lead to health issues like anxiety, high blood pressure, and weakened immune function.
