stop stressing

START LIVING.

​

In today's modern fast-paced world, with all of its pressures and uncertainty, stress has become a significant problem for more and more people. 

We all think we know what stress is, because each of us has experienced it in one form or another. Yet 'stress' is a catch-all term that can cover a wide range of phenomena from mild irritation to severe problems that could result in an actual breakdown of mental and physical health. 

What is stress?
What are its effects on our body and our mind?

When we experience acute stress our body reacts in a consistently predictable way. The region in the brain known as the hypothalamus triggers the release of powerful hormones such as cortisol, norepinephrine, and adrenaline. This raises the blood pressure and places extra strain on the heart as the heart rate increases considerably. Simultaneously, normal bodily functions such as digestion are suppressed. Chronic stress can even elevate the risk of stroke or heart attack and seriously compromise the immune system, leaving us vulnerable to disease.

The psychological effects of stress are also clear. Stress fosters anxiety and fear, producing anger and guilt, wreaking havoc with relationships and playing an important role in depression and other difficulties. 

If we live for extended periods of time in a stressful state, the consequences for our health can be detrimental.
 

A little stress every now and then is not something to be concerned about. Ongoing, chronic stress, however, can cause or exacerbate many serious health problems, including:
 

• Mental health problems, such as depression, anxiety, and personality disorders

• Cardiovascular disease, including heart disease, high blood pressure, abnormal heart rhythms, heart attacks, and stroke

• Obesity and other eating disorders

• Menstrual problems

• Sexual dysfunction, such as impotence and premature ejaculation in men and loss of sexual desire in both men and women

• Skin and hair problems, such as acne, psoriasis, and eczema, and permanent hair loss

• Gastrointestinal problems, such as GERD, gastritis, ulcerative colitis, and irritable colon
