I was just getting to my pile of e-mails these days and I found out a message that seemed quite interesting and related to my previous posts – on the stress/ depression effects on the health in general.
And before that I just remembered two concrete examples of what high stress may cause.
The first one – I think you all remember the case of the young woman – that died because of stress at work. Her case was largely mediated. The other case –I know the person personally. This person, a young fellow, due to some family problems – and his un-limited over-thinking of a situation with no concrete answer – he got into a deep health problem that it is an issue from now on in his life. He found him self with a hemorrhagic and thrombotic disorders at his feet – he got an urgent surgery, but this didn’t completely solve the problem, but was just a temporary remedy. Do you imagine how it is to find yourself one day just not able to walk and experiencing an impossible pain? And all this because of what? Because you over-think a situation…
The depressions and the stress increase the level of cortisol, also named the hormone of stress. High and prolonged levels of cortisol in the bloodstream have negative effects, such as: Impaired cognitive performance, Decreased bone density, Decrease in muscle tissue, Higher blood pressure, Increase fat, memory lose.
The brain gets tired after a stressful period and it produces different signals: insomnia, heart pains, dizziness, benumbed arms or feet, anxiety, headaches, suffocation.
There are some basic things that one may do to reduce the level of cortisol in the body:
(I’m repeating my self – but this part is very important)
Try Ginkgo biloba; tea (green); shells (they contain Zinc and iron); cereals (for fibers and B vitamins); eggs (for B vitamins and lecithin); milk products; curry (antioxidants); forest fruits such as blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, black currants( antioxidants and vitamins); nuts and seeds (for vitamins and the fatty acids omega 3 or 6); veggies and fruits (for all types of vitamins, the B-s, the iron, magnesium and zinc) – at least 5 servings per day; fish (fatty acids omega, phosphor, magnesium, selenium), chocolate (for flavonol). Ok, for this last one I was a little skeptical, but I`ve red some more articles and… they are right. A small piece of chocolate as a square – with more then 80% cocoa busts your energy. But, don`t fall under addiction.
Keep up the good work for a healthy life style!

- Get at least 7-8 hours of sleep every night
- Walk for at least 20 minutes every day.
- Eat appropriate food.
