Now that we have discussed the potentially devastating effects that stressors play in our lives, lets explore the specifics of the different types of stresses to help understand which ones necessitate immediate attention.
Unhealthy food choices:
These can be the easiest stressors to eliminate. High sugar intake, caffeine and alcohol act both directly and indirectly on the enteric branch by changing neurotransmitter production. Every part of the ANS and endocrine system are affected by these "foods"....they will STOP your weight loss cold.
Daily Emotional Stress:
This inactivates the parasympathetic system and is the single Biggest problem we face. Enzyme activity is diminished, the digestive system is inactivated (i.e. bowel irregularity), bacteria-balance issues occur and your immune response is compromised....so, we end up being Fat and Sick!
Medications:
Once the above symptoms occur, the choice frequently is to take one medication after another for them: meds for depression, hypertension, sleeplessness, synthetic hormones, thyroid meds, anti-anxiety pills and every to try every yo-yo diet in the book. The interesting thing is, that the side effects of many medications is to further interfere with the balanced function of all the branches of the ANS, resulting in a never-ending feedback loop....again, fat and sick.
Bad Harmonics:
What is this? Exposure to cellular-damaging frequencies. All life vibrates...that's how life communicates, including communication at the cellular and neurological levels. What this means is that all frequencies affect us, especially intense decibels....living in a noisy environment, constant arguing, driving long distances (those road harmonics are especially destructive to a balanced immune system) and constant exposure to emfrs....computers, cell and smart phones and video games...very bad harmonics.
Fortunately, those of us in the health care profession who are aware of these consequences have the means to offer specific help that can result in both improved health and weight loss. The subject of the next blog.
