In today’s society, women are under a tremendous amount of stress. They face extraordinary pressures as they try to accommodate the demands of both home and career. In an attempt to perform their delicate balancing act they place their own needs on the back burner as they care for everyone around them.
When under stress, the body releases strong hormones such as adrenaline, cortisol and oxytocin. Adrenaline primes the body to react quickly and evokes the “fight or flight” response. The body responds with increasing heart rate, higher blood pressure and rapid breathing. When high levels of adrenaline are released into the bloodstream, the body may respond with dizziness or heart palpitations.
