Stress

An Overlooked Reason People have Health Problems

STRESS!!!

Most of us fell some kind of stress every day. It seems unavoidable in our modern fast paced lives.  But it is possible to reduce your everyday stress.  And it's also possible to help mitigate the effects of the stress we have.

Reducing stress is guaranteed to give you a healthier life and can prevent future health problems!

The dictionary defines stress as physical, mental, or emotional strain or tension. Everyday 87% of the population lives under this type of stress. We worry about money, children, jobs, our spouse or significant other and hundreds of other things on a daily basis.

Just driving to the corner store can cause tension as you dodge that crazy driver or see the price of gas at the pump.

Some people are very aware of the strain and tension in their life, but many of us live with stress that we don't see or are unwilling to admit we have. We just go about our daily life thinking this is the way it is supposed to be, the norm. We build our lives and behaviors around stress.

Even children and especially teens have stress. They worry about their friends, their weight, if they are wearing the right clothes or if they have a zit (acne).

More Medical Problems are caused by Stress than anything else!

Learning the right way to relax and reduce tension can help your body work better and create a healthier life. Your body's natural processes are affected by stress. Stress can be a killer and reducing your stress should be a top priority in your life.

Stress can cause

• Your Body to Age: Which means all your cells and organs are getting old before their time. When your stomach ages, food sits in it longer and can start to spoil before its even digested. This can lead to colon problems. Your skin and heart can also be affected by stress.
• Sugar to Build Up: When humans were hunters and gatherers, they had stress when they were being stalked by a predator. The body understood this stress and releases sugars for instant energy so we could flee or fight. Now, when the stress causes the sugars to release, we don't use them for energy. They go unused and the body stores them as fat instead.

• Your Blood to Thicken: Thicker blood allows it to carry more oxygen to help with our fight or flight as previously mentioned. Again we don't use this feature as nature originally intended and now thicker blood only starts the process of building up plaque on the walls of our arteries.
• Increased Number of Diseases: Stress depresses the immune system. Colds and viruses are more common in stressed people. Viruses can cause some cancers, thus keeping a strong healthy immune system is a must. Stress has also been linked to Parkinson's disease.

Up to 98% of all Degenerative Disease is caused by Stress!

How your body reacts

When your body senses stress, it automatically gets you ready to run or fight. This is just part of your biological makeup.

First, the natural response causes the stomach and colon to shut down.

• Extra blood is needed by the body and it takes them from the stomach and colon.
• With no blood, these organs age faster.
• Food that was being digested now just sits there and starts to rot. You end up with rotten food in your colon. As you can imagine, eating rotten food can make you sick, so can having it sitting in your body.
• 90% of your immune system is battling disease in the colon. Ask any doctor who does autopsies about people's colons. It's not a pretty picture.

Second, your metabolism changes.

• The body needs energy and it needs protein.
• It goes to the muscles to get it.
• If you don't replace the protein and all the amino acids and enzymes, you lose muscle.
• You lose body shape when you lose muscle.
• The body replaces the muscle with FAT!

I have just described a majority of the human population.

We are stressed out and because of the stress we are battling colds, the flu, allergies, you name it because of our reduced immune system.

What Can I Do?

Dealing with stress is something we can manage. There are several steps that can reduce stress and when that becomes too difficult, there are things we can do to counteract the negative effects stress has on our bodies.

First and foremost, the best way to alleviate the problems associated with stress is to get rid of the stress in our lives.

Some things we can do include learning relaxation techniques and ridding yourself of stressful habits.

We are all different and we deal with everyday situations in different ways, but we can all learn to reduce the stress in our life.

Second, because it is impossible to get rid of all stress, we need to give our bodies the things it needs to be healthy and overcome the ill effects that stress creates.

The top 3 things you can do are:

1. Provide you body with the nutrients it needs.

While this sounds simple enough, when your body is under stress, the stomach shuts down so even if you are eating a good diet, your body isn't getting what it needs. Supplementation is the answer. But again, be careful. Not all supplements are created equal. There is only one company out there making supplements 

that can be used by the body when it is under stress. They have created a vitamin pack that provides your body with over 80 bionutrients. It has 12 patents on its delivery system. This means it is guaranteed to get the nutrients to your cells where they are needed and not just take them on a nice ride through your digestive tract.

2. Boost your immune system.

Stress makes our bodies more susceptible to disease. It lowers your overall immunity and it creates a situation where a majority of you immune system is battling disease in you colon.

Interferon was discovered over 50 years ago by a Japanese researcher, Dr. Kojima. He spent a good portion of his life learning how it works with our immune system and helps our bodies defend themselves against disease. He learned how to put it into a form that we can take to boost our immunity by increasing our own natural production of interferon. It is a patented process and it can give you a supercharged immune system.

3. Get more protein.

Most people don't get enough protein. Stress causes the body to need more of it and so your body raids the muscles to get what it needs. When there is nothing to replace the muscle protein it gets replaced with fat. We slowly lose our shape and definition as we lose muscle.

Adding more meat to our diet is not the best solution. Today, almost all commercial meat is contaminated in some way. The beef, pork and chicken you buy from the supermarket is pumped full of antibiotics and other toxins.

A better solution is soy protein. This is a plant protein that has all the amino acids a human body needs. There is one company that has developed a way to get the protein out of the plant without damaging any of the amino acids. They also extract critical enzymes from the plant that allows our bodies to absorb the protein and use it to rebuild muscle. Without the enzymes, the cells can't use the protein properly.
