The Long & Short Term Effects of Stress on The Body Most of us know by now that stress does not discriminate when it comes to age or gender. The majority of us who live in more modernized societies are subject to fast paced lives, where multi-tasking is not only important, but absolutely necessary in order to achieve goals, get things done and even lead a semi-normal life according to our culture's standards. There is acute stress, or short term stress, which occurs when you're approaching a deadline or trying to figure something out.
