why should we reduce stress if it 'is not a disese and is a normal part of everyone's life'?

Answer 1

There is a difference between acute stress and chronic stress.

You experience acute stress when a rabid dog chases you. This stress is good since you instinctively climbed a tree to avoid the rabid dog. The acute stress was necessary for survival.

Chronic stress keeps you in that tree long after the rabid dog is gone. This stress has no purpose for survival and causes physiological problems that are often detrimental to your overall heath.

It is true that stress is an ordinary part of life. I think the problem lies in how much stress is too much. That is kind of different for different people.
