Stress is a weight of special significance laid for burden by the state of being thinking negative. Schools, discipline, physical, emotional, intellectual pressure place us under a great deal of stress. Excess stress steals health and joy away. Constant stress brings about changes in the balance of hormones in the body. Adrenaline is the hormone that prepares the body for "fright, flight or fight". When the stress hits, the body send a message to the brain to secrete the hormone. The adrenal glands are a pair of endocrine glands ductless which manufacture and secrete the hormone in very small quantities directly into the blood stream situated immediately above the kidney. It produces the hormone by its medulla in momentary fear. Heart beats increases in order to improve the power and prolongs the action of muscles. Also as a result, the rate and depth of breathing increases to liberate other hormones chiefly from the pituitary gland with specific "target organs such as the skin, stomach, colon and cardio - vascular system”. Adrenaline inhibits digestion and excretion and constrict blood vessels. The blood pressure goes up during the constriction of the arterial system. The metabolic rate is raised so the force of muscular contraction improves and the onset of muscular fatigue is delayed. At the same time the blood supply to the bladder and intestines is reduced, their muscular walls relax, and the sphincters contract (a specialized ring of muscle around the anus and at the openings between the stomach and the esophagus and the duodenum). If the mental stress couldn't be resolved, repeated hormonal stimuli will lead to a state of over-reaction shown by symptoms of anxiety, fear, frustration, hate, anger, or rage.
Anxiety is the commonest manifestation of stress. It stems from many types of conflict, examples: To exercise a difficult choice; from unsatisfying personal relationship. Competitive standards of living may force husbands to accept wives to undertake full-time work in addition to looking after children and house. Insecurity and dissatisfaction at work and from many other complexities and perplexities of modern life.
Stress may lead on to a particular disease “neurosis” as the end results of chronic anxiety. Physical symptoms such as tension around the neck muscles causing headaches; nausea and vomiting. Spasm are caused by the abnormal narrowing of any passage in the body that cause a sudden involuntary contraction of muscle for becoming stiff (fibrosis). Also the muscle fibers in the walls of blood vessels narrowing them to obstruct blood-flow affecting arterial circulation particularly in the heart and brain and in the limb. Bronchial spasm that produces asthma worsen. Stress may lead to chorea (a jerky involuntary movement affecting the head, face or limbs due to disease of the basal ganglia). Meningitis, tetanus and rabies are also possible. Insomnia, twitches (short jerky movement of a muscle or part of the body). Tics (a twitch occurring repeatedly), and skin rashes are moved by stress.
Skin disease are of particular interest in a psychosomatic context caused by an interaction between mind and body, example: peptic ulcer, asthma. The effect of emotions on the skin is easily observed as in blushing in shame and hair-errection, and goose-skin in fear and horror. The blood vessels contract and the small muscle attached to the base of each hair follicle also contracts, causing the hairs to stand up, this gives the skin an appearance of plucked goose skin. Hair loss can occur associated with its root condition relating to stress. Emotions when experienced in excess is reflected in the skin as pruritus (itching), urticaria (nettle rash) and rosacea (chronic congestion of the blood capillaries leading to a lumpy red appearance of the face). Digestive upsets, bowl pains from indigestion peptic ulcers, colitis (inflammation of the colon), with the symptoms of diarrhea, some times with blood and mucus. Palpitation, high blood pressure, coronary thrombosis, dysmenorrheal (menstrual pains) and infertility. There are many other less well-defined conditions such as hurrying or doing things quickly by being in-patient tenses the muscle up causing it to be stretched or strained in a state of nervous strain. Glucose and its derivatives are crucially important in the energy metabolism. It is a major energy source, they get broken down first during the hurry demand while the brain is also waiting to burn glucose for its mass of nerve tissue to control the functions of the body.
Obesity is stress related disease, the excess fat accumulates mostly in the subcutaneous tissues. Today up to one in six are considered obese over the ideal weight which can result in serious health conditions. Over-feeding of excess carbohydrates (starches and sugars) is the real culprit. Psychological disturbances such as frustration, loneliness, emotionally disturbed eats in substitution for some other ungratified emotion.
Anything which disturbs the natural balance of the body is called physical stress. Injuries, disease are such factors that has an adverse effect on its functioning. Physical over-exertion cruses stress because muscular function requires adequate supplies of fuel and oxygen and rapid elimination of the resulting metabolic waste-products e.g. carbon dioxide and water. If the elimination is insufficient for the needs of a particular situation, the result is fatigue which persists until relieved by rest. To give example, in running we breath fast to get rid of the carbon dioxide and our muscles feel tired because of the excess of CO2. But if within physiological limits, no harm results.
Repeated physical stress produces hypertrophy (increase in the size of tissue or organ brought about by the enlargement of its cells rather than by cell multiplication). The pumping action of the heart gets reduced in efficiency. In some cases prolonged abuse may lead to physiological aging.
Environmental pollution reinforces physical stress through physical contacts with germs encouraging infection. Introducing new habits and new ways of life to deal with a new nature, highly dependant on producing smog, insecticides and harmful wastes. Noise pollution of those who are too selfish to comply, using the internal combustion engine as a loud speaker, a strong feeling of displeasure and often hostility grows more fully.
Overcrowded insanitary dwelling create physical and mental stress.
Stress operates at a profit with a person having too high expectations, without a reasonable limit. Stress takes over when the dream of such gain blow out.
The stress of farmers lie in poor harvest "drought and stress" and strain of pests and storms. The evil part of technological science makes stress evolve out of competitive spending culture directed towards luxuries instead of necessities, trying to make the governments economy survive. This made the return to nature untrue; abandoning such luxuries and methods of communication is often not possible. The stress disease is here to stay.
Stress is more experienced in primitive culture than the civilized. Evil creates a culture to walk man's animal behavior to destroy the works of God. Third world culture influences individuals just as the tissue fluids influences individual cells. Instead of a harmonious behavior, it provides its own acceptable behavior to discipline, persecute, ostracize those who will not or cannot conform. What you should do or shouldn't preserve with the wild life. Everyday there is something to turn their worlds upside down. A dictator prints more on the mind marked with anger. freedom abolish restrain and eliminate mistakes. Temptation decreases when men are not liable to error.
Stress persist so long the state of child mind continue; only death will provide the ending.
Child upbringing under the use of force, penalized to prove the way of discipline (like gathering shattered cattle) a man is denied from being a man to become a thing.
The genetic element walks in the same order to receive stress character from one's ancestors.
Stress has its good side, without some stress we would have fewer reformers, inventors and artists.
