How Stress Has An Effect On Your Health and What You Can Do About It Now

By Annie Grimm


All of us know what stress is, but few of us know exactly what stress does to our bodies. Even less know what we will do about it. Everyday there is a bombardment of stressors in our lives. Stress is our body's way of rising to a challenge. Stress is a life-endangering situation (or at the very least our bodies believe it's life threatening). Our bodies immediately turn on a stress response strictly from a psychological state, like public presenting or handling an annoyed, yelling person. Although these circumstances are not a life or death situation, the body will treat these scenarios as if they were.

There are 2 hormones which accompany any stressful situation; adrenaline (epinephrine) and glucocorticoid--these are the 2 components of the stress reply. A high frequency of occurrence of these hormones leads to chronic illness.

Our bodies answer to stress in many ways. It jeopardizes our health by causing increased heartbeat rate, elevated blood pressure, immune system dysfunction (including momentarily closing down all non-essential functions), destructing brain cells (which has effects on learning and memory--the hippocampus center of the brain) and even causes plaque build up in the arteries (atherosclerosis), among many other problems.

Stress affects the way our bodies function and it'll affect our health today and for years to come. So what can we do? There are excellent supplements for stress on the market today to help handle stress. Try to have a more happy outlook on life; laugh more, love more and exercise constantly. One or two great supplements to try: New Chapter's Rhodiola Force, Holy Basil, and Perfect Calm.

Learning how to cope with stress is key to much better health. Repeated stress attacks only cause more problems for your health, and if you don't take the time to slow down and realize what effect stress is having on your life, you may regret you didn't take action. Get a new perspective and try a few all natural stress supplements to see what works best for you!
