How Do You Safely Secure A Leaning Mirror

Stress: Natural Remedies, ginseng and Eleutherococcus

With any stress disorder is defined as heat, cold, physical trauma, emotional excitement, chemical toxins and microorganisms in the body to induce a reaction called stress response, part of a broader response call general adaptation syndrome.

general adaptation syndrome

This general reaction organism can be broken down into three phases: • Alarm


• Resistance • Exhaustion


Alarm

At this stage the fight against disorder that causes stress is supported by mechanisms of brain type, thanks to production from the pituitary gland hormone ACHT (adrenocorticotropic hormone) that stimulates the adrenal glands to produce adrenaline and other hormones related to stress response.
This response serves to set in motion the body's energy reserves to counteract the danger and causes:

• Increased heart rate and force of contraction of the heart, the blood tends to move skin and internal organs, except heart and lungs that are crucial for survival, muscle and brain, which require more oxygen and glucose
• Increased respiratory rate, to provide heart, brain and muscles more oxygen
• Increased sweating, to better dispose of endotoxin, produced by the body and lower body temperature
• Reducing the production of gastric juices, which do not represent a major utility to combat stress
• Production of glucose by the liver to from glycogen, and release into the bloodstream, which will have high sugar levels made available by the increased demands energy body

Resistance

This phase may last much longer before the alarm, which is generally short, takes over and has the following effects:

• Production of hormones such as cortisol and other glucocorticoids, proteins that promote the conversion of energy in order to avoid depletion of glucose
• Retention of sodium to maintain high blood pressure, it is associated with a loss of potassium (sodium salt pump / potassium)

stimulates changes to

• Fighting • Make an emotional crisis
big physical effort
• Fighting infections


Excessive continuation of this stage of resistance can lead to the risk of contracting a serious illness such as:


• Diabetes • High blood pressure (hypertension)
• Cancer


Exhaustion

This phase is manifested as partial or total collapse of an organ or body function due to exhaustion



• Loss of potassium ions, this leads to dysfunction and even cell death
• Out of glucocorticoid hormones such as cortisone, is so lost control on blood glucose and hypoglycemia can develop the • Undermining of organs


organs and systems particularly weakened by stress


• Heart • Blood Vessels •
adrenal glands
• Immune System

• Angina • Arthritis •


• Asthma • Cancer Ulcerative colitis
• Depression • Diabetes

• Cardiovascular diseases • Irregular menstruation • Common cold

• Premenstrual Syndrome • Ulcer



approach to combat stress

• Relax your mind and body
• Optimization time
• Care relationships

• Bulimia (blow off steam in the food until you get to rivomitarlo)
• hysterical • Radioactive

• Spend a lot of money

Relax your mind and body

In a complementary way to the stage of stress response, governed by sympathetic nervous system, which protects us from danger, this technique is to use methods to promote the relaxation response, governed by the parasympathetic nervous system, which controls the phases of sleep, meditation, relaxation and rest the digestion, breathing and heartbeat failure, and can in this way to Garat refreshment, healing and good shape.

Relaxation


• Meditation • Prayer • Breathing

• Progressive muscle relaxation

• hypnosis • autogenic training


Breathing

One of the most useful breathing techniques to relax is diaphragmatic breathing, another is that of divine healing, described in Chapter 4 of detoxification, also report below.



Divine Healing • Stand up with arms outstretched to the sides continuously while breathing
• Bring both arms above your head • Exhale
throwing down their arms dropped and swinging

The breath, called divine healing, can take advantage of the top of your lungs, that at the top, which is not normally used. This breath is often practiced as an exercise of preparatory gymnastics, swimming, during the stretching. In swimming the same can be carried out a similar exercise during the swim back to the frog, that is in the prone position with his back facing the bottom of the tank, move your arms and legs back together with a frog in bringing the arms to the head inhale deeply through the nostrils until the end of the arms, and then exhale returning the arms to the legs.

Meditation

Meditation is a powerful method to combat stress, studies show that a three-day retreat in meditation is able to halve the cortisol, known as the stress hormone, and to increase DHEA, a hormone precursor of testosterone, as well as melatonin, a hormone of good humor. If you want to deepen, there is a post
http://salute-bellezza-naturale-donna.blogspot.com/2009/02/la-meditazione-un-rimedio-naturale-per.html dedicated This argument, which is attracting increasing interest for both the charm that arouses in us the East West and for the benefits that our friends tell us that they had in practice daily life.

optimization time

• Set priorities by calculating how much work a day was able to play
• Organize your day by setting the time required for certain jobs, including the unexpected interruption of our work
• Delegate work to others, when we are not able to do everything yourself
• Do not postpone the deadlines might otherwise overwhelm
• Tackling the toughest jobs quickly so that at the end of the day, when you are more tired, you can play other
• Do not be a perfectionist, to outline the basis of the work, then adjust later
• Organizing meetings at lunch and end of the day, so as to limit the duration and have more time to make these other commitments

Care relationships

Establish a good relationship, first of all means be respectful, so having a dialogue with others, why are these qualities

• Demonstrate good listeners identifying with nell'interlocutore
• Do not interrupt the speaker, is expected to ask the question and understand what they're asking, without hurry to think and mean our response, be sure that we listen or they will not be including our reasoning, unless the person before us is extremely rude, which he may be kindly noted
• Listen actively by asking questions
• reflective listening, thus indicating that we have heard, proposing their own version showing an interest
• Encourage active listening in their own party, asking questions to make sure she understood, and possibly re-explain the idea until he understands
• Ability to communicate with the silence and reflect on what we heard

Fitness
Initially
sports tires and induce stress, but with regular exercise your body adjusts and is able to better combat stress, depression and afffaticamento general, because the body is strengthened, acquires resistance and responds better to the tension, the sense of inadequacy, concerns and distressing situations. Sport in general has a real purpose for general detoxification, and allows you to burn fat reserves if it is practiced for at least 30 minutes with a heartbeat that is 80% of the number 220 - age, the only way you can succeed to dispose of fat with physical activity sport allows the purification of cells in the body of toxins, and at the same time it improves your blood circulation and lymph flow even when is practiced to mild levels.

Healthy Diet

those suffering from stress or anxiety should take this advice

• Reduce or eliminate caffeine
• Reduce or eliminate alcohol consumption
• Delete from pure carbohydrate diet
• Diversifying the range of food
• Increase the ratio potassium / sodium introduced
• Power supply with regular meals in a calm and quiet, to aid digestion
• Remove any food allergies

Caffeine may harm not only those who make extensive use of coffee or drinks that contain, but also those with reduced hepatic phase I detoxification, which are more sensitive to it and tolerate a lesser amount.

Effects of caffeine overdose


• Irritability • Depression • Nervousness


• palpitations • Insomnia • Migraine
applicant



Alcohol Consumption of alcohol produces these effects

• Prevents the normal chemical processes in the brain
• Increases
anxiety • Increases the production of adrenal hormones
• Alter the sleep-wake cycle

Refined carbohydrates

foods such as flour and sugar, causing problems controlling blood sugar and hypoglycemia. Disorders such as depression, anxiety and mental problems would require the monitoring of blood levels of hypoglycemia. In several studies have found high levels of hypoglycemia observed in depressed patients. For those who suffer from anxiety and depression sometimes is enough to eliminate refined carbohydrates from the diet to solve the problem, when it is caused by hypoglycemia.

Value Potassium / Sodium

for the proper functioning of the adrenal glands the ratio of potassium and sodium intake should be high, about 50:1, very useful for this purpose to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and reduce salty foods. A proper ratio potassium / sodium pump in the saline cell phone provides a good barrier, with a balanced electrical potential, thereby increasing the resistance to the action of free radicals and degenerative diseases and viruses even when already under way.

allergenic foods

those suffering from anxiety and chronic fatigue should be careful to eat foods that might show respect for food allergy. This mechanism of food allergy, immunology and nature, and the result of an immune reaction that release histamine, deeply quite different from that of food intolerance, digestive in nature.
symptoms that accompany food allergies can include: • Anxiety



• Fatigue • Muscle aches and joint
• State of confusion
• Difficulty concentrating • Depression


Nutritional support

prolonged stress and corticosteroids such as prednisone, make the contracted and malfunctioning adrenal glands, and increases sensitivity to allergies and infections, as well as anxiety, depression and chronic fatigue.

The most important substances as dietary supplements to restore the proper functioning of the adrenal glands are the vitamin C, pantothenic acid (B vitamin), vitamin B6, zinc and magnesium. In fact, the levels of these substances in the adrenal glands decreases when there is stress, thereby altering the secretion of hormones and the functioning of the glands themselves.

Assays

Vitamin B: 100-500 mg (particolrmente useful for people who should be subjected to chronic stress and corticosteroids such as prednisone)
Vitamin B6: 50-100 mg
Zinc: 20-30 mg
Magnesium: 250 -500 mg


herbal remedies

The two most mentioned the Chinese ginseng (Panax ginseng), also called Siberian ginseng or el'eleuterococco (Eleutherococcus senticosus)

The Chinese ginseng is indicated in persons who have undergone periods of high stress, who is recovering from a long illness and has taken prednisone for a long period, while the Siberian for those who had a mild stress or a slight disturbance to the adrenal.

Both types of ginseng

• allow individuals to give back vitality
• Increase the weak force
• Increase the capability of the body presale stress
• mitigate certain negative effects of cortisone
• To improve physical performance and mental
• Improve the functioning of the liver
• Protection against radiation doses

For referral to a specialist, or naturopathic doctor who specializes in herbal medicine, which will assess his personal situation, and through history, or an interview about the history of your health prescribe appropriate therapy.
