Work Place Stress

Stress is the underlying cause of many illnesses, both
major and minor. Stress Reduction techniques can
prevent many illnesses, and disorders, as well as
increase a patient’s ability to heal following the
development of a variety of Health problems.

The human response to Stress is triggered within the
brain, producing chemical and physical changes
throughout the body, which affect every aspect of
it’s functioning.

During times of intense Stress the brain’s production
of such chemicals as Dopamine, Epinephrine, and
Norepinephrine increase, causing the distribution of
larger amounts of these Catecholamines throughout
the body.

The increase of the presence of these chemicals
produces physiological changes such as increased
heart rate, and blood pressure, increased cell
reproduction, and suppression of the immune system.

The ability of the immune system to fight off infection
and disease is inhibited, allowing for the onset of
various illnesses, viral infections and the development
of chronic conditions such as Diabetes and Asthma.

Stress is also related to many mental and emotional
disorders, such as Depression, Anxiety, extreme
Phobias, and panic attacks.

Learning to manage Stress in healthy ways can help
reduce the chemical changes occurring within the
brain and body, thereby improving both physical and
mental Health.
