Any challenge to our function is stress, whether its physical, mental, emotional or physiological. Stress in the caveman days was primarily the sourcing of food hunting gathering. Acute stress. The hunter could become the huntednecessitated the fight or flight response[physiological].governed by adrenalin [ increases heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, glycogen breakdown to produce usable glucose,etc] Acute stress today ..a vehicular accident / delay while travelling/ even an exercise session Chronic stress in the caveman days.starvation..famine..necessitated cortisol release and lingering..to keep alive Chronic stress today.EMIs, hectic lifestyle, constant deadlines, keeping up with the Joneses, the boss from hell.NOTHING TO DO WITH STARVATION! But our body still responds to chronic stress in the same age old way.. Pic 3 is a humorous take
