Why is our stress system more suited for “getting attacked by lions” than modern financial worries?
In: 9
I think because modern worries are constant and don’t go away. So cortisol, inflammation and all that constantly is flooding you, giving your body no chance to heal. Whereas being attacked by a lion is a singular adrenaline rushing event. You either survive or die until the next event with ample time to recuperate and sustain your body in between.
