11 Psychological Tricks That Every Person With Anxiety Needs To Know

The most common things nowadays, unfortunately, are stress and anxiety. We experience these on a daily basis.

If you are stressed, then, the amygdala (the brain that contributes to emotional processing) sends a distress signal to the hypothalamus. Also, it uses the nervous system to communicate with the rest of the body this way stimulating the fight-or-flight response.

This leads to outward physical reaction connected to stress like increased heart rate, deeper intake of oxygen, heightened senses, and a rush of adrenaline. This releases cortisol. This hormone will restore all the energy that the body used and when the stress is gone, the levels will drop, thus making you tired.

According to the Mayo Clinic:

‘Stress symptoms may be affecting your health, even though you might not realize it. You may think illness is to blame for that nagging headache your frequent insomnia or your decreased productivity at work.

But stress may actually be the culprit. Stress that’s left unchecked can contribute to many health problems, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity, and diabetes.’

Health Care . Uncategorized

Science and medicine have become so advanced nowadays that we can actually see how much chaos can be caused in our body from stress. Therefore, this can cause different problems and serious diseases to the mind and body.

What stress does is it weakens our immune system and it accelerates our aging process. Moreover, it increases the risk of Parkinson’s disease and it makes us exposed to different colds and viruses.

The symptoms of stress are basically still not very known, so, this means that you cannot see it immediately. Thus, it can lead to bigger damage to the health.

When our body senses stress, it can react in different ways, like:

  • The main organs- the stomach and the colon will start giving up slowly bit by bit.
  • The body will need more blood, so it will take it from the stomach and the colon.
  • Thus, the food will stay there and it will rot in the colon.
  • 90% of the diseases in the colon are fought by the immune system.
  • So, when we lack blood, the organs are getting older faster.

What this means is that you need to be able to recognize the earliest signs and symptoms of being over-stressed. This way you will be able to act on time and start a proper treatment.
