Stress is something that affects all of us and is a natural reaction that our bodies have towards potential hazards. It helps us to run away from risks or face up to perilous situations and is what has helped us survive for hundreds of years. Humans have always reacted to stress in this ‘fight or flight’ manner and, whilst it makes sense to become stressed when faced with a caveman-style threat, the modern world has turned these threats into everyday occurrences. These days the threats aren’t lions and wolves but deadlines, high expectations and the pressure to keep up. But how much do you know about stress? Try our quick quiz below.
