Reduce Your Stress Levels Today - NeuroscienceDuring stressful situations your body releases two chemicals; Adrenaline and Cortisol. These are the primary hormones that activate your fight or flight response.
The fight or flight system was originally designed to help you in life threatening situations. It increases your heart rate, muscle activation, body temperature and the speed of your thinking.
In our modern world, this system gets activated all the time through our phones, working lives, diets, relationships and much more.
