Stress is a classic example of the interaction between body and mind, the physical and the mental. Your mind may perceive a threat of some kind, and your body reacts by secreting hormones to help you deal with the threat. Some have called this process the "fight or flight" response because ages ago, when our bodies first evolved, the process of stress was normally a response to a life-or-death situation. Making the right choice between fight or flight could literally be a matter of your survival.

The hormones in question are substances such as adrenaline. They tend to hop you up and increase your physical capacity. If you respond physically, the hormones are used up. If you vegetate, as is unfortunately often the lot of modern desk jockeys, the hormones can just build up, possibly consuming you from the inside.
