Stress triggers a variety of physical and psychological responses that can significantly affect overall health and well-being. This course examines the biological changes that occur in the body when stress is experienced, helping participants understand how the body's natural stress response functions. Learners will explore the effects of stress on major body systems, including changes in hormone levels, heart rate, blood pressure, muscle tension, and other physiological processes associated with the body's response to perceived challenges and demands. The course also discusses common health complications that can result from prolonged or unmanaged stress. Participants will examine how chronic stress can contribute to physical, emotional, and mental health concerns, including fatigue, sleep disturbances, headaches, digestive issues, anxiety, decreased concentration, and reduced workplace performance. Emphasis is placed on recognizing the signs and symptoms of stress before they lead to more serious health consequences. 🌟 IMPORTANT INFORMATION 🌟 ✔️ Washington State ​Nexport courses are not approved in Washington state to meet annual STARS training requirements.
