    Our hormonal system runs


    and alerts the body to focus
    on the stressful event.
    If stress continues to
    affect our balance, we
    produce
    adrenaline which
    causes our hearts to
    beat faster and
    mobilize our body to
    do something
    More blood are diverted to the brain and muscles
    that push us to think on our feet, fight or run away.
