Workers get frustrated if they are not given control over the responsibilities that are entrusted to them. This means, they cannot exercise what they want to do on a given project. Discouraging work practices such as the lack of a clear job description, no recognition or reward of a good performance and the absence of opportunities to use personal talents add a lot to job stress. Dissatisfaction and anxiety also occurs when workers are not given an opportunity to air out their problems and concerns. The frustration of keeping these problems and concerns concealed will strain their stress coping mechanism.Job stress can also be caused by harassment or bullying. Some fellow employees may tease, insult or even threaten others due to their sex, religion or race.

If there’s too much glucose stored in the blood and the person doesn’t really use much of this, then it will pile up and increase the blood sugar levels in the body.  This will result to high blood sugar or hyperglycemia.  On the other hand, if a person doesn’t eat much food that’s high in glucose and balance blood sugar levels, and he has a very active lifestyle, then he’ll soon drain the glucose in his blood, thus affecting his energy level, which would lead to hypoglycemia.To balance blood sugar levels, one must note the lifestyle he lives and the food he takes.  There should always be a correlation between these two.  If you don’t balance these, then you don’t balance blood sugar levels or glucose storage in your body as well.  In doing so, you’re risking your body, your life, and your future.  When you want to balance blood sugar levels to avoid health problems and illnesses, then try looking at your lifestyle and daily activities first.
