Short-term stress is known as <em>acute<\/em>. It has a beginning and ending, and the cell is able to clean up the oxidative byproducts of burning the fuel it took to stay active. <strong>Ratey points out that living systems, like our bodies, <em>need<\/em> to be exposed to acute stress to become well-conditioned.<\/strong> We can\u2019t survive without it. Mild stress\u2014whether through exposure to natural toxins in vegetables or challenges to our muscles\u2014strengthens our bodies and minds.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Everyone Handles Acute Stress Differently<\/strong><br><br>Experts agree that acute stress can be beneficial for the body and brain, but in the case of cognition\u2014tasks requiring figuring or thinking\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5490678\/\">acute stress can have different effects on different people<\/a>.&nbsp;<br><br>A recent study found that subjects who were exposed to acute stress and then required to take a Stroop test (where, for example, the word \u201cblue\u201d is written in red ink and the subject is supposed to read the word aloud) were generally more accurate, but slower. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/stress-response-in-the-body\/\">The stress response<\/a> in these people heightened brain activity in their executive control network (ECN), which is responsible for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/integrative-decision-making\/\">decision making<\/a>. A significant portion of the test subjects, however, were faster, but less accurate. The stress response in these subjects actually decreased brain activity in the ECN.&nbsp;<br><br>This indicates that Ratey\u2019s theories might not be accurate for every individual and that instead, acute stress might be more beneficial for some than for others.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-chronic-stress-is-bad\">Chronic Stress Is Bad<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The second type of stress is long-term, and it\u2019s harmful to your brain. This is known as <em>chronic stress<\/em>. When your body is engaged in a high-stress response, it releases chemicals in a targeted way and for a narrow purpose\u2014survival. In this state, the hormonal and neurochemical equilibrium of your body is askew. <strong>Too much time like this is damaging, as your cells never get the chance to recover.<\/strong> Excess cortisol in the brain, for instance, corrodes neurons, causing numerous problems such as memory loss, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/why-is-it-so-hard-to-focus-2\/\">trouble focusing<\/a>, and learning difficulties.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: John Medina discusses this in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/brain-rules\"><em>Brain Rules<\/em><\/a>, noting that stress hormones released by chronic stress tend to especially damage the hippocampus, which is central to our ability to learn. At its most extreme, he notes, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/brain-rules\/category-2#defining-stress\">chronic stress can kill cells in the hippocampus, disrupt their neural connections, and disable the gene that creates new cells<\/a>.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What&#8217;s the difference between acute vs. chronic stress?
