Brain Education For Stress Management and Stress Related Illness
Walt Decherd Brain Education By Jeff Brendan
Stress is a condition in human body in which the body responds certain internal stimulus. Endocrinologist Hans Selye first described stress in 1930 as a hormone response to the stimulus both internal and external factors.
The most common hormone in stress and stress factors interplay is the adrenaline. This is a hormone that is released by the body to enhance glucose uptake and muscle cells function in readiness to response to the stimuli, also called a stressor. Because of this increased activity of body cells, some organs may end up being placed on permanent high gear of functions.
Stress is actually a good condition for human body because it warns it of the environmental condition and prepares it to respond appropriately. Therefore every human being will experience stressful situation, the stress levels and its effect on the body will vary depending on the coping mechanisms and the severity of the stressor or stimulant.
The heart for example, may be forced to pump the blood faster and this may be sustained to and therefore lead to high blood pressure. The gut may be forced to work faster and thereby lead to higher production of bile acid in readiness for increased digestion. Because the production of the bile acid is not provoked by the food presence, the acid ends up eroding the mucosal cells leading into ulcers.
Therefore some of the common symptoms of stress include faster breathing, persistent headache, stomach ulcers, weight gain or loss depending on the personality, chronic exhaustion, and high blood pressure among others.
Today, there are a number of people who are stressed. In developed countries such as USA, more than 75% of the illnesses reported to physicians are stress related. Stress and stress related illnesses are also increasing in the developing countries as the people adopt the western way of living.
As it has been pointed out in the study of stress and stress related illnesses have their genesis from perception of the mind and the eventual trigger of hormones such as adrenaline. Brain education provides opportunity for control of the negative energy and the brain. The education provides skills for control of human body through providing information on how to control motor and cognitive parts of the body through simple exercises.
