More than Massage: Relieving stress and pain
In the world we live in, stress has become a way of life. Many times we work a 40-hour week at our jobs and then spend our weekends working around the house and in the yard. Add children to that mix and there is a recipe for prolonged stress. Relieving stress is crucial to a productive and happy life.
Prolonged stress is bad for you because it weakens the body and the brain. This is why:
- Your adrenal glandspump adrenaline, which raises your heart rate, your blood pressure, and increases the amount of sugar in your blood. Your adrenal cortex sends out cortisol, part of the stress response. This helps us in certain situations, but when it becomes habitual it is destructive.
- Stress kills brain cells; It is not true that brain cells stop growing when you’re an adult, they just grow more slowly.
- Stress is associated with depressionand anxiety.
- Your immune system doesn’t work as well as it should.
- The right amount of stress is beneficial, but too much is deadly.
This is why relaxation is as important to your well-being.as eating well and getting enough exercise.
