　　Why Stress，Anger and Frustration are Problematic

　　The problem with stress and anger in the modern world is that most stressful or frustrating scenaries do not require an active physical response.There are no lions or tigers to escape，only imaginary ones.Our inactivity in the face of stress or frustration causes most of us not to recognize that our fightorflight response system has been started.Our bodies often exist in a state of constant panic，and the chemicals and hormones released into the blood become toxic，resulting in heart disease，arthritis，osteoporosis，diabetes and certain cancers.The_biological_response_that_has_helped_to_keep_us_from_becoming_prey_for_thousands_of_years_is_now_preying_upon_us.

　　How to Keep Stress，Anger and Frustration from Killing You

　　The first thing to do in the battle against stress and anger is to recognize them.Recognizing triggers and physical responses to stressful situations can help you reduce them.Once you recognize that a stressful situation has triggered a physiological response，the best way to bring the body back into a homeostatic_state is through physical activity.Walking，running，biking，jumping or any energetic activity will help bring the body back into equilibrium.While it may seem strange to do 100 jumping jacks after a stressful meeting or go for a jog after getting into an argument with your wife，it can save your life.It only feels unnatural because our environment is unnatural.Don't let stress，anger or frustration eat at you.Fight back through exercise.
