Stress – a positive gone wrong...

Posted on Tuesday 12th of November 2019 at 10:37:01 AM

Stress is a natural physical and mental reaction to everyday situations and in the short term can be beneficial to your health. It is part of our ‘fight or flight’ response. It plays an essential part in human survival. If you find yourself in a dangerous situation, the hypothalamus located in your brain, signals release of your 3 stress hormones.

Adrenaline is responsible for your immediate response: Your heart races, your breath quickens, your muscles tense up and you have a sudden surge of energy. This response was designed to protect your body in an emergency by preparing you to react quickly.

Norepinephrine works with adrenaline and you become more aware and focussed. It shifts blood flow from less crucial areas like the skin and reproductive system to crucial areas like your muscles so you can react faster.

Cortisol is a steroid hormone and takes a bit more time to release because of its multi-step process, but it plays an important role in the stress response to maintain fluid balance and blood pressure. It also regulates non-crucial body functions like reproduction, immunity, digestion and growth.

Can you imagine what happens to your body when the stress response keeps firing, day after day? Stress, in everyday terms, is a feeling that people have when they are overloaded and struggling to cope with demands. This is not uncommon in our busy lifestyles and it could put your health at serious risk.

Chronically elevated Adrenaline and Norepinephrine levels will lead to irritability, anxiety, headaches, muscle tension and insomnia. On the other end the chronically elevated levels of cortisol will lead to suppressed immunity, decreased libido, skin conditions, obesity as well as increased blood pressure and sugar.

Not a happy place to be Naturo Pharm Stresmed Relief provides a gentle and natural option to support the body’s normal response to stress. It has beneficial calming and settling properties.
