In small doses, stress can be good for you because it makes you more alert and gives you a burst of energy. For instance, if you start to cross the street and see a car about to run you over, that jolt you feel helps you to jump out of the way before you get hit. But feeling stressed for a long time can take a toll on your mental and physical health. Even though it may seem hard to find ways to de-stress with all the things you have to do, it’s important to find those ways. Your health depends on it.15392023-11-29T20:21:50Z2023-11-29T20:21:50ZPiacere!: Elementary Italian at The University of Iowa<img alt="Read more about Piacere!: Elementary Italian at The University of Iowa" title="Piacere!: Elementary Italian at The University of Iowa cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="534" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTAzMjcsInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--b2a363246ffd029d5e8042ae0be548097e62fc8a/Piacere_Cover-350x534.jpg" />Piacere! is an elementary Italian open-access textbook authorized by the Italian faculty of The University of Iowa.
