Introduction
Strain or tension resulting from physical or psychological factors causes stress, which acts as a response to anxiety provocation. The feeling of stress presenting itself for a short period is normally termed as acute stress; if it persists for a continuous period, then it is referred to as chronic stress. Unlike Chronic stress, acute stress may help an individual learn how to control dangerous and more critical conditions in the future. Moreover, stress may also lead to serious health complications when an individual does not learn how to manage these provocation feelings for a continuous period (Tran et al., 2020).

People experiencing stress conditions may tend to make poor decisions when it comes to diets by either forgetting to take their food or consuming the wrong types of foods. In some cases, the stress may make an individual lose the will or interest in eating and losing weight.

Despite a pleasant place and ample time to sleep, stressed people may have difficulty getting sleep and experience drowsiness during working hours at their businesses or workplaces.
