Physiological Responses to Stress...

Without thinking we react to a stressful situation with a surge of bodily resources:

• Into our blood flashes adrenal secretions that muster strength from sugars and stored fats
• Stimulating our pulse and respiration
• Increasing our blood pressure

60% of our working and playing hours are spent under stress... under adverse conditions this raises to 80-90%

Our digestive process turns off at once and the protective lining of the stomach starts to dissolve as all the blood rushes to your extremities.  Our coagulation chemistry prepares to resist wounds with quick clotting, our natural immune system is less active and our resistance levels are lowered, and we become more vulnerable to disease.

When our fears and worries turn into anxiety, we suffer distress.  This distress in the body actually activates the endocrine system, which is your glands and the production of hormones and antibodies change.

AGING FACTOR - As you basically spend in your stress savings account your body actually starts to steal vital nutrients from your tissues, organs, etc. to compensate.
