Harmful Effects of Chronic Stress on the Body

Stress has been called the “health epidemic of the 21st century” by the World Health Organization and is estimated to cost American businesses up to $300 billion a year. The body does not know the difference between a real threat to life or limb or a perceived mental or emotional stress. It reacts the same way.

Association of the Global Organization for Stress reports the following statistics
 75% of adults reported experiencing moderate to high levels of stress in the past month and nearly half reported that their stress has increased in the past year – American Psychological Association.
 Stress is a top health concern for U.S. teens between 9th and 12th grade, psychologists say that if they don’t learn healthy ways to manage that stress now, it could have serious long-term health implications – American Psychological Association.
 80% of workers feel stress on the job and nearly half say they need help in learning how to manage stress.

Chronic Stress Impacts
 Neurochemical imbalances lead to headaches, anxiety, depression
 Lack of sleep starts additional viscous cycles in body
 Heart rate and blood pressure increase
 Blood clotting ability increases, blood thickens
 Extra glucose into bloodstream taxes pancreas which affects blood sugar regulation and digestion
 Salivation decreases / digestion slows affecting the stomach and intestinal tract.
 Cascade of stress hormones disrupts reproductive hormones for both men and women affecting both desire and performance
 Skin problems
 Muscles tension and pain
 Immune system activity decreases

Next in the series is the effects of mindfulness on the body and how it can counteract chronic stress.

How Laughter Strengthens our Immune System - Laughter as Good Medicine

Guidepost to Wellness

Always laugh when you can. It is cheap medicine. -- LORD BYRON

Well, I got a good dose of "medicine" recently that reminded me of how great laughter is at making us feel better. I watched a video on home-made face masks and was crying I was laughing so hard. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrJaZsdjSz4&t=41s)
That made me think, wow, this is exactly what we need right now during this stressful time, we need laughter!

Here is just a list of the health benefits and the studies are below. I will be doing a blog article soon talking more about the heath benefits and also ways to incorporate laughter into your life. I also created a Laughter Playlist (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWL2s4DBx4Y&list=PLbK5lpL1cVnwJMuHQEPfwZlCI1_2fS9s3)9s3). Now laughter is very subjective, you may not find my choices funny, but hopefully you will come up with your own!

Physiological Benefits of Laughter
o Increases respiratory activity and oxygen exchange
o Stimulates hear rate and blood pressure followed by vasodilation and relaxation
o Increases mental alertness and memory, enhances learning and creativity
o Engages multiple parts of the brain, stimulating both hemispheres at the same time
o Creates endorphins that help with pain
o Reduces stress hormones like cortisol and epinephrine
o Increases Dopamine and releases serotonin, both help with anxiety and depression
o Helps GI tract peristalsis and decreased stress helps digestion
o Boosts T-cells + natural killer cells for tumor and virus destruction and other parts
o Increases salivary immunoglobulin A which defends against infectious organisms entering the respiratory tract

Brain Salon Product Review - I use it almost EVERY Single Day

Guidepost to Wellness

Brain Salon is such an innovative product with something for almost everyone. You have a brain entrainment audio for a mental espresso, to chill out, to get razor sharp focus, to help fall asleep! I use it almost every day. I just listened to the High Energy Espresso to wake up from that afternoon mental slump.

This program has a great money back guarantee, they have very responsive customer service and there is really no risk to get a great brain entrainment variety pack.

Check it out and I would love to hear how you like it. One caution, they have a great free demo, but be advised they will email you every day for quite awhile. The information is good information, and if you determine its too much, you can always unsubscribe or choose a less frequent option like I have.

My choice of music frequency for enjoyment, sound healing and innovative music therapy application is based on the spiral shape of the ear which was studied in 2006 to show that lower frequency translates into higher sensitivity in nerve signals. This suggests an innovative increase of efficacy for sound healing and music therapy over higher pitch entertainment tunings.
This is why I choose 432Hz over the de facto establishment tunings of 440Hz and 444Hz.
