Is the Stress Level Gender Bias?

Description

Stress is inherent in our lives from the day we are born to the day we die. Stress is more important in the life of college students. As stress in an integral part of our lives, there is no way of escaping it. In essence, complete freedom from stress is death. The important paradox is that stress plays a key role in our daily lives, influencing, happiness, productivity and health. It will likely come as no surprise that women say they feel more stressed out than men do. Psychiatrists and sociologists verify it; so do the studies that probe the depths of gender and stress. Stress is common in both the men and female. Causes of anxiety and depression in both the men and women are dissimilar from each other. It is unknown that why stress affects men and women differently. Generally, as the two sexual categories often work in different social circumstances, both are likely to build up different emotional temperament and personality. Men and women express different response to stress. It may give details in their longer life span and health. Compared to males, females had higher levels of markers for Protein Kinase A (PKA) in the striatum indicating increased dopamine and therefore greater reinforcement of reward signals in the female brains. The most common response to this stress is to ignore it and carry on regardless.

All forms of stress consume energy.  This is why it is important to eat particularly healthily while under stress. Unfortunately, it tends to convenience or comfort food with few nutrients, plus a large intake of coffee. After classifying different types of stress level and their relation with the dietary habits were studied by selecting 100 subjects. A pre-planned questionnaire was preparedand survey was conducted with the subjects. A definite correlation was established between stress level and the nutritional status of the different male and female. A study provides useful information and dietary remedy to relieve the stress.
