This is why women handle stress better than males (Check It Out)

Dr. Frederick Arhin, a senior specialist at 37 Military Hospital, has revealed why women are better equipped to manage stress than males.

He explained that while there are many ways to define stress, for the average person, it simply means that there is an imbalance between our needs and our resources.

He outlined how people have many needs but few resources to meet them.

“Hence when there’s an imbalance between our demands and our ability to fulfill them, we put stress on ourselves,” the Dr. asserted.

Speaking to Nana Yaw Odame on e.tv Ghana’s ‘Men’s Lounge Show’, he said:

“The body works in a very nice way so anytime the body is subjected to stress, there are certain chemicals in the body that are released to either prepare you to face that stressful stimulus, or to run away from that stimulus and those chemicals are called hormones.”

He then went ahead to point out that oxytocin, a hormone more frequently found in women, makes them more resilient to stress than men.

“This is why women tend to handle stress better than men because they produce more oxytocin. Men bottle up stress and hardly talk about anything happening to them unlike women who talk a lot,” he revealed.
