Working too long often brings too much stress, and in some cases it may indeed lead to "karoshi", that is, "sudden death". Stress response is an instinctive response inherited from human evolution to resist the harsh environment and preserve oneself. 1936, Hans Serra, who started stress research, put forward the concept of stress-related diseases, namely "General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS)".
Stress reaction involves a large number of electrical and chemical signals accumulated in the release of more than three chemical messenger compounds, which has a wide impact on the target organs of the whole body, including the heart, blood vessels, intestines, lungs, muscles and immune system. Studies have proved that psychological stress is related to hypertension, which is becoming more and more common now. If the stress factor lasts too long and exceeds the adaptive limit of the body, it will lead to the damage of the weak links of the body and produce psychological or physiological problems and diseases.
Therefore, excessive stress may not only lead to extreme events such as sudden death, but also become a potential inducing factor for many psychosomatic diseases (such as coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, etc.). ), which will bring long-term harm to the body. Therefore, stress management is a skill that everyone should learn.
Through the introduction of the above contents, we will find that excessive pressure is really easy to cause karoshi, which is what we usually call sudden death. Therefore, for the sake of our physical and mental health, we must pay attention to scientific and effective methods to relieve psychological stress and make life easier and simpler.
