Stress is an organism’s response to a stressor such as an environmental condition or a stimulus. Stress is a body’s way to react to a challenge. According to the stressful event, the body’s way to respond to stress is by sympathetic nervous system activation which results in the fight-or-flight response. Stress typically describes a negative condition or a positive condition that can have an impact on an organism’s mental and physical well-being. The body’s natural relaxation response is a powerful antidote to stress. Relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, visualization, progressive muscle relaxation, meditation and yoga can help an individual activate this relaxation response. When practiced regularly, these activities lead to a reduction in everyday stress levels and a boost in feelings of joy and serenity. They also serve a protective quality by teaching how to stay calm and collective in the life’s curve balls.  Exercise is an essential part of good body function. It helps deplete stress hormones and releases mood enhancing chemicals which will help us cope with stress better. Endorphins or happy hormones are released during any form of physical activity. The increase in endorphins in your body leads to feeling of euphoria, modulation of appetite, release of sex hormones and enhancement of immune response. This will help in combating the negative effects of stress. Exercise helps us to shed the day’s irritation and create more energy and a feeling of optimism will surround us which will make us calm and ready for the next target. Thus conquering stress by physical fitness is the need of the hour. This manuscript delineates about the causes of stress syndrome, its prevention and management stratagem.
