In today's fast-paced and demanding world, stress has become an all too familiar companion for many. The detrimental effects of stress on physical and mental well-being can range from mild to extreme.
When you experience stress, your body undergoes several physiological changes. Here are a few things that happen in the body when stressed:
Stress triggers the release of stress hormones, such as adrenaline and cortisol. These hormones activate the sympathetic nervous system, which prepares the body for the "fight or flight" response.
The release of stress hormones causes the heart to beat faster and the blood vessels to constrict, leading to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure. This prepares the body to respond to potential threats.
Stress can cause rapid and shallow breathing. This helps to supply oxygen to the muscles and increase alertness.
Stress can cause the muscles to tense up, which is a natural response to protect the body from potential harm.
Stress hormones can also lead to an increase in blood sugar levels. This provides the body with extra energy to deal with the perceived threat.
During periods of stress, the body prioritizes the fight or flight response over digestion. This can lead to a decrease in digestive activity and may cause digestive issues.
Chronic stress can weaken the immune system, making you more susceptible to illnesses and infections.
It's important to manage stress effectively to minimize the impact it can have on your overall health and well-being. The holistic modalities we offer at Asai Healing Therapies can help manage stress in a more positive way. Here’s how:
