There are three primary types of stress:
Physical Stress
Numerous forms of physical strain can have harmful effects on your body. Such strain may result from automobile or workplace accidents, injuries sustained while playing sports, incorrect lifting techniques, or slips and falls. Babies may even suffer physical stress after birth. The constant pressure of gravity is also among the biggest causes of physical stress.
Mental Stress
A diverse variety of difficult situations can lead to mental stress. Common causes of mental stress include navigating financial difficulties, difficult projects at work, and attending to the needs of a seriously ill family member.
Chemical Stress
Substances like food additives, pesticides, pollutants, personal care items, and medications flood our bodies with a multitude of chemical stressors that have the potential to negatively impact our nervous system and overall well-being.
