what is stressful for one person is not necessarily stressful for another. Stress is defined as anything that requires adaptation or change of the organism.
There are all types of physical stressors--environmental (weather, toxins, pesticides, radiation and so on}. There are nutritional stressors, absence of adequate sleep, unhealthy habits and so on. Ones attitude and expectations can cause activation of the sympathetic nervous system for one person and not for another. Emotions can be a stressor--especially because most of us don't know how to handle them and spend more time tying to ignore them or pretend we're not feeling them--even happiness can be an issue or stressor leading to unhealthy responses.
I've operated a stress management clinic for over 20 years and have m any self help cds dealing with various aspects of stress, but one thing to remember is that stress can severely deplete the body's glutathione levels. And of course there's all kinds of stress such as pollution, habits such as smoking, drinking and so on, plus toxins in our food in addition to mental stressors. The body makes it's own glutathione but after age 20 it diminishes by a minimum of 10% each decade. Glutathione is responsible for protecting DNA, boosting immunity, reducing inflammation to name just a few things. Until three years ago there was nothing that could be done about it, today we now have a glutathione accelerator available.
I always said that the first defense against stress was deep breathing, but its actually glutathione.
