The "fight or flight" response works through your nervous system to increase pulse, blood pressure, and sweating. You need some stress to get the energy to perform tasks. Too much stress due to poor work-life balance or poor time management Leads to fatigue, sleep disturbance and the most common form of depression which is linked to overeating and excess abdominal fat.
