The Old Paradigm of Stress.
According to Hans Selye the
father
of stress theory, stress is: "Our
body reaction to any
demand upon it." Which means
that as long as we live we cannot escape the effects of
stress. We are doomed to live with it for the rest of our
life.
The U.S. Government spends over
1 billion dollars
per year to pay for stress
related illnesses.
U.S. Companies spends more than
70 billions dollars
per year for the same reason. And this is not just an
American problem it's affecting people all over the earth.
Being such a universal problem, many professionals are doing
research in this field. Sad to say though, because of
the existing "Paradigm of Stress" they are focusing on
research about stress management and not in finding a way to
ELIMINATE it.
Some of the
defensive effects that stress produces:
-
Triggers a
specific response in our brain.
The HPA system is
activated (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal)
and triggers the production and release of cortisol (the
primary stress hormone), and adrenaline (chemical
messengers) that prepares the whole body to deal with
any perceived danger.
-
The Immune
System
goes in alert getting
ready to fight any "invaders."
-
Heart, Lungs, and Circulation.
Once a
perceived stressor is identified, breathing becomes
rapid and the lungs take in more oxygen, blood flow may
actually increase 300% to 400%, priming the muscles,
lungs, and brain for added demands. Then the spleen
discharges red and white blood cells, allowing the blood
to transport more oxygen.
-
Metabolic
activity.
Stress slows or
shuts down digestive activity during short-term periods
of dealing with it.
Some of
the
negative effects of stress:
-
Heart Disease.
Stress have been associated with a higher risk for
serious cardiac events, such as heart attacks,
heart rhythm abnormalities, or even death.
-
Stroke.
In a 2001 study,
stress has been associated for the first time to a
higher risk for stroke in adult.
-
Susceptibility to Infections.
Stress may slow the immune response and increase the
risk for infections. The level of white blood cells
decreases and the person becomes vulnerable to
infections.
-
Eating
Problems.
Stress may cause weight gain and obesity by triggering
cravings for fat, sugar, salt to counteract tension,
also could cause eating disorders such as anorexia and
bulimia.
-
Diabetes.
Stress has
been known to affect the body's ability to regulate
glucose, the primary cause of diabetes.
-
Gastrointestinal Problems.
Stress can
disrupt the digestive system, causing problems
such as: spastic colon (irritable bowel syndrome)
resulting in cramping, diarrhea and alternating periods
of constipation. Also studies show that even though
peptic ulcer is caused by H. pylori bacteria stress
plays an important role by predisposing someone to
ulcers, or slowing the recovery from existing ulcers..
-
Pain,
such as
headaches, muscular and joint pain.
-
Sexual and Reproductive
Dysfunction,
-
Sleep Disturbances
-
Memory, Concentration, and Learning.
-
Skin
Disorders, Allergies, Unexplained Hair Loss, Teeth and
Gums problems.
