Others lose heart at first 42 of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make a choice between 43 and fight. And in more ancient days the choices made the 44 between life and death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it requires the same response. It is when such a reaction 45 long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes _ 46 . Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart diseases have 47 links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives we need to find ways to deal with it. It would be unwise to do so even if we could.
