Stress
Stress is
any physical or emotional strain on the body or mind. A certain
amount of stress is useful as a motivating factor but when it
occurs in excess its effect can be very detrimental.
During stress
the body's metabolism is increased to deal with the body's preparation
for action. This is triggered by the production and secretion
into the bloodstream of adrenal hormones. Blood pressure and
heartbeat are increased, digestion is reduced, and energy is
directed towards the muscles.
Continual
stress for prolonged periods can lead to more serious conditions.
Digestive disturbances and sleeping disorders are a common result.
Fatigue and low levels of energy and stamina are another. The
immune system can be jeopardized by the reduction in the production
of white blood cells and shrinkage of the thymus gland. This
leads to increasing numbers and severity of cold and flu episodes.
Because the muscles are raided for protein and the bones are
depleted of calcium, there may be muscle and bone problems.
Unrelenting
stress can cause the runaway production of cell-destroying free
radicals, which must be neutralized by an every-diminishing supply
of antioxidants.
Chronic
stress can also cause the over-production of our bodies' natural
pain-killing endorphins and natural tranquilizers. In large amounts,
these body chemicals can become neuro-suppressive and prevent
the cells in our nervous system from firing properly.
Many of
the disorders related to stress are not a direct result of the
stress itself, but a result of nutrient deficiencies resulting
from the increased metabolic rate during periods of stress.
Nutritional
research has shown that certain nutrients are used up faster
than others during stress. They need to be supplied to maintain
optimal health.
We
recommend the following products
to maintain
a healthy nervous system during times of stress:
