"The situation depressed helping the release of cortisol, an anti-inflammatory function of physical or emotional stress response so that the body can utilize energy reserves and fight off infections. However high levels of stress for more than a few hours can be exhausting the adrenal glands are so susceptible to getting sick," said Dr. Teitelbaum.

2. Accelerate Recovery After Surgery
Surgery can obviously lead to stress. But the short-term stress caused by surgery can be beneficial because it helps the body to recover more quickly.

Researchers tested this hypothesis by collecting a series of blood samples from 57 of the patients before and after undergoing knee surgery. As a result, the patient's immune system responds to stress by mobilizing and redistribute large amounts of pathogen-fighting cells for the body to recover faster.

3. Strengthening ties Emotional

Oxytocin actually inhibits the production of stress hormones and reduced blood pressure by dilating the artery to help keep the body from the negative effects of anxiety," said Kathleen Hall, PhD, founder of The Stress Institute and The Mindful Living Network .

Several studies linking chronic stress to the development of Alzheimer's brain plaques that trigger. Acute stress has been shown to improve memory. In a study published the journal Molecular Psychiatry, stressed rats were forced to swim to score better on memory tests than mice that were more quiet.

According to a study published the journal Brain Behavior and Immunity, when mice were exposed to ultraviolet irradiated cancer for 10 weeks, the rats were placed in a situation less stressful triggers tumors than mice that were not stressed. Allegedly, stress triggers the expression of genes that activate the immune system and helps suppress tumor growth.
