What is stress?
Stress can be triggered by a wide variety of factors. Most of us are primarily familiar with mental or emotional stress, triggered by a heavy workload, worries, or interpersonal relationships. But environmental factors such as noise, heat, cold, air pollution, as well as physical conditions such as a particularly intensive training schedule, calorie deficit or excess, pathogens, or lack of sleep are also stress factors. The General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) is a concept developed by the Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye. It describes the body's general response to stressors and the associated physiological adaptation process. GAS consists of three sequential phases: alarm response, resistance, and exhaustion. In the first phase, the body reacts immediately to the stressor and activates the sympathetic nervous system. Stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol are released to prepare the body for a rapid response. This response includes increased heart rate, increased breathing, increased blood pressure, and heightened alertness to prepare the body for the threat. The second phase is the resistance phase. During this phase, the body attempts to adapt to the ongoing stressor and mobilize its energy to cope with the strain. The body demonstrates increased resilience to the stressor by optimizing its resources and adjusting hormone production. This phase can last for a certain period of time and allows the body to adapt to the stress load and maintain its performance. Phase 3 is the exhaustion phase. If the stressor persists for an extended period and exceeds the body's adaptive capabilities, depletion of physical and mental resources can occur. During this phase, the body's resilience decreases, and symptoms such as chronic fatigue, emotional exhaustion, increased susceptibility to illness, and mental disorders occur. The role of adaptogens: Adaptogens are plant substances that have long been used in traditional medicine and are also included in modern dietary supplements. Adaptogens are intended to help the body adapt to stress and improve its resilience without causing specific side effects. According to research, this effect is based on modulating the release of stress hormones and the activity of the sympathetic nervous system. Furthermore, they are said to modulate the activity of the immune system and enhance the immune response to stressors.
