This assignment is less about personal effects of stress on the body (see journal above), but is designed to summarize the current research literature on stress and physiological functioning.  Be sure to summarize current (within 5 years) peer-reviewed articles that detail what research is being done to better understand how acute stress affects the body physiologically.

• Find and summarize at least 3 peer-reviewed articles from within the last five (5) years that detail current research on the topic.

• Write a 2.5 page paper describing the physiological effects of stress on the body.  Ensure the following points are addressed:

• • What physiological changes occur during and after acute stress on the body?
  • What do the articles specifically measure or examine concerning stress and the body?
  • What recommendations would you give to someone facing ongoing stressful work or a stressful personal lifestyle based on this research?
  • Proper citation and referencing of research is expected. 

Ensure that you use the Paper Writing rubric to guide your efforts and support your work with scholarly academic resources using APA format.
