Question

Due to a job loss and divorce, 25-year-old Jerome has been under an enormous amount of stress, yet he still feels good physically. The fact that Jerome's body can continue to function well under this stress is likely due to _____.

Answer 1

This is due to organ reserve.

Step-by-step explanation:

Organ reserve refers to the ability the organs have of going back to their normal stage, following a period of stress, which tends to wear them away.

Stress has many repercussions on the body, such as headaches, anger, extra sweating, a weakened immune system and stomachache, amongst others.

Organ reserve helps prevent extra stress from affecting the body even more. This would explain why Jerome still feels good physically, even after going through the job loss and divorce; his body is able to keep functioning thanks to this.
