    • How our body responds to stress is based on the


    theory of Hans Selye.

    • It has a three-stage process namely: ALARM


    STAGE, RESISTANCE STAGE, AND
    EXHAUSTION STAGE.
    Alarm Stage

    • Refers to the initial symptoms that our body


    experiences when under stress.

    • You may be familiar with the “fight-or-flight”


    response, which is a physiological response to
    stress.

    • Prepares you to either flee or protect yourself in Example:


    dangerous situations. You see a cockroach
    Resistance Stage

    • Is the process where the stress is being


    resolved after meeting its demands
    then the body goes back to normal
    afterward.
    Exhaustion Stage

    • Develops when stress recurs until it becomes


    chronic and reaches this final stage.

    • Stress level peaks and plateaus then develop


    health risks that cause high blood pressure,
    stomach, and heart problems.

    Example:
    You see a cockroach
    Keep safe and
    always take care!
