Accepted Answer

While reducing interruptions can be helpful in reducing stress, it is not always possible and should not be relied upon as the sole solution. It is important to also address the root cause of stress and to develop coping mechanisms, such as saying no to demands on your time and changing how you think about stressful situations.

Question 6

The body's physical &#34;fight or flight&#34; response to stress is appropriate for the everyday stresses of modern life.

Accepted Answer

The "fight or flight" response evolved as a survival mechanism to help our ancestors deal with physical threats in their environment, such as predators. In modern life, most stressors are psychological, such as work pressure or financial concerns, and the physical response can actually be harmful if sustained over time. Chronic activation of the stress response can lead to increased risk of health problems such as cardiovascular disease, depression, and anxiety. Therefore, the physical "fight or flight" response is not always appropriate for the everyday stresses of modern life.
