Experts Discuss Effects of Chronic Stress and Importance of Balanced Stress Levels

Experts highlight that while chronic stress can impair mental and physical health by overactivating brain regions linked to anxiety, a complete absence of stress may lead to reduced motivation, emotional disengagement, and lower performance. Neuroscience shows the brain can be trained for calm through simple routines, but maintaining an optimal level of stress is important for focus and productivity, balancing the risks of both excessive and insufficient stress.
