When people were given the choice to fight with aggression or of a potentially dangerous situation, fight or flight escape is instinctive.
How can we reduce anxiety is just as important as knowing where it all began. Will increase your heart rate you can push more blood through your entire body. Here are a few of the things that happen automatically on your body when the stress response kicks in.

- Your bronchial tubes in the lungs and the nose is to take a larger view. You begin to breathe faster, and you are therefore more oxygen to enter the body.
- Make your blood vessels begin to narrow in the skin. This should prevent a serious bleeding occur for possible wound. Your hair stands on end, so we still have more on our environment.

The fight or flight response is built into our genes, it is second nature to survive for our species. It was instinctive, even during the time of the cavemen times, for example, when a pack of were wolves in and at first closed, the man would flee the situation, or be driven without taking refuge in a corner struggling and need every muscle and body part of working together, without to think about. It’s the same second nature for animals in the wild to survive. A good example of the flight or flight response is a grazing deer in the wild. If the deer sees a lion and kill creep, the stress response is activated and begins to run low. The escape requires intense muscular effort, supported by all systems of the body.
