Modern life fills us with tension, nerves and anxiety situations. So, we learn to live with two dangerous guests: stress and anxiety.

Faced with an imminent danger, the brain responds by putting on an alert, so it is easier and quicker to respond to the threat. The problem is when we get used to living always in that state. Then, the problems appear such as headaches, gastrointestinal problems, fatigue, changes in character, anxiety, excessive anger, depression, excessive distraction, poor performance, repeated mistakes, dissatisfaction, frequent arguments and fights, decreased social circle, difficulties in initiating relationships and alterations in feeding behavior, sleep and sexuality. In addition, the person who suffers from stress begins to drink alcohol in bigger quantities, increase the consumption of cigarettes or feel the urge to use drugs.
