Stress is mainly referred to as an artificial, man-made load. Man had to learn to understand and resist various stressful influences from the beginning of his existence. Physical stress, cold alternating with heat, lack of food and fluids, bacteria, viruses, lack of sleep or pain have affected our lives since time immemorial. Nowadays, we perceive stress primarily as an important cause of many physical and mental illnesses, and we understand it as dangerous.
