              “STRESS”… is  singled out!

 

How we manage stress …

I think most people would agree with that statement but then others may say that stress has been blamed for just about everything, when things do not go right. So today’s health article might raise some attention. I am getting stressed just covering this article.

So lets examine: Why is stress a problem!

One of our more recent articles The Ph Miracle Diet suggested that by examining every food, beverage,  supplement,  and additives, it`s acidic or alkaline balance can be negotiated.

Now for those who are not familiar,  Our bodies work according to this pH scale,  a scale of 1 to 14,  the 1 is an indication of a high level of acid ranking , while the  14 indicates  a high amount of alkaline present.

Our bloodstream operate at the level of 7.35,  which is slightly alkaline. The pH miracle diet promotes keeping the intake of your food, in line with this desired level. The idea or concept is quite simple, by coordinating eating, which is designed around a  large list of foods and supplements, you can create an effective plan to lowering acidity in your body. 

This health plan can be managed by monitoring your body’s pH levels by using  the Saliva pH test strips.The strips have a base range of 4.5 to 8.5,  allowing,  for accurate readings that may assist you in making the necessary adjustments to your diet.

Now with all of this information, welcome to , the outside influences, they will  affect your body`s acid production.

The most significant of these external factors  is STRESS

Stress has several definitions, according to the dictionary, here we are relating to how it affects us health wise,  mentally or emotionally. It is everywhere and it affects everyone. It is, stress will continue to be a  every where problem, thus having a very traumatic effect on your body. Our body works overtime to combat stress,  in turn creates more stress. This endless cycle is initiated by an increase in acid production.

With acid being a detriment to your body,  it does not operate well on a cellular level. Why is that? Here are some facts from leading resourses:

2/3′s of all office visits to family physicians are due to stress-related symptoms.                                            —- American Academy of Family Physicians

High levels of hostility can predict heart disease more often than high cholesterol, cigarette smoking, or obesity —- Health Psychology, November 2002

More than 100 million Americans say they have had an illness caused primarily by stress.                                                        —- American Psychological Association 2005

Work-related stress can double one’s risk of dying from heart disease.                                                                                                   —- British Medical Journal, 2002

Anxiety-related disorders cost the US $42 billion a 1999 in work-related medical losses.                                                           —- National Institute of Mental Health

Stress is directly linked to the 6 leading causes of death. (heart disease, cancer, lung ailments, accidents, cirrhosis of the liver, and suicide)

Stress…and Circulation, is being adversely affected,  your heart working harder, beating at a higher rate to push this sticky blood through the bloodstream.  So many of these sticky cell clumps break free, attach themselves to the arterial walls, creating further slowdowns in the circulation. Our body needs blood to function,  if  the quality blood is poor, that is now reaching the cells and organs, this can have serious repercussions. Acid-producing killer is Stress.

In addition to diet there are many techniques, that may also help in your endeavor for a balanced pH level.

Receiving adequate rest, is always the best way to achieve stress relief.

Meditation can be more restful and rejuvenating than actual sleep.

Limiting the intake of caffeine and other stimulants also works toward lowering stress.

The center of stress reduction is eating more foods that are alkaline in nature.

Exercising is the most effective way to receive direct stress relief,  reducing the fat stores of the body where acid waste inhabits in abundance.

Stress robs you of health, energy and happiness.

The good news is that your stress levels can be managed effectively!

For other smart solutions for stress relief.
