Eighty percent of learning and living difficulties are related to stress. Remove the stress and you remove the difficulties Everyone has stress. No big deal. We'll slow down one of these days. We just don't realize how serious stress can be. If asked, "Where is the greatest medical problem of the century?", most would reply cancer, or heart disease. In fact, it is stress. Studies by the American Medical Association have shown stress to be a primary factor in over 75% of all illnesses treated by the medical profession today.
With the billions spent on medicine and medical treatments, we are fast becoming a society increasingly dependent on pharmaceutical drugs that commonly mask over the real problem. Research linking stress to a variety of physical diseases has been the subject of no less than 20,000 scientific studies. What Does Stress Do? Stress depletes the brain's message sending chemicals known as neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters actually communicate every impulse, every thought you have, from one part of the brain to another. At some point, because of stress, addiction or other dysfunction, the brain literally runs out of these chemicals.This creates a communication gridlock within the brain and starts a chain reaction of damaging effects. How Do Our Bodies Respond To Stress? Your body responds to emotional stress the same way it responds to physical danger: an alarm is triggered. Adrenaline races through the body, commanding a series of physical changes. The heart immediately beats harder, so your blood pressure abruptly rises. Blood is shunted away from the vital organs to the muscles. High energy fats are rushed into the blood stream for energy and chemicals are released to make the blood clot more quickly in case of injury.
This is very useful when facing mortal danger (fight or flight), however, today's modern stress is of a different nature. We neither fight anything nor do we run. We sit in our cars or at our desks, boiling in these chemicals our bodies have released. We don't do physical battles; we have mental battles with freeway traffic, unending meetings, governmental agencies, deadlines, finances, our jobs, and the list goes on. This constant biochemical pounding in the body is like a slow poison. The human body has not had millions of years to evolve and develop a suitable response to modern mental stress. We experience anger, fear, lack of sleep, irritability, anxiety, depression, insecure feelings, and more. The constant release of chemicals, like adrenaline, chips away at the immune system, opening the way for cancer, high blood pressure, heart disease, gastrointestinal disease, asthma and dozens of other problems.
