Lesson six paragraph three

Paragraph three:

Hans Selye, M.D., a recognized expert in the field, has defined stress as a “non-specific response of the body to a demand.” The important issue is learning how our bodies respond to these demands. When stress becomes prolonged or particularly frustrating, it can become harmful--causing distress or “bad stress.”  Recognizing the early signs of distress and then doing something about them can make an important difference in the quality of your life, and may actually influence your survival.
