Fight-or-Flight and Rest-and-Repair III
Chronic Stress: Prolonged activation of the fight-or-flight
response (chronic stress) can disrupt this balance, leading
to negative health effects such as weakened immunity,
digestive issues, and increased risk of chronic diseases.
Promoting Rest-and-Repair: Practicing relaxation techniques
(deep breathing, meditation, yoga) can help activate the
PNS, promoting the rest-and-repair response and
counteracting the effects of chronic stress.
