Many people see their health compromised by stress. As they found it difficult to properly manage their stress, it affects many body functions. They digest very least, eliminate less well and recovering so well. If they could better manage their stress, their health could improve in a meaningful way.

The concept of stress is widespread among the general public but generally reduced to a straightforward understanding. Stress is associated with a life lived on a very fast pace and excitement.

In fact we owe the concept of stress Hans Selye who while working at McGill University in Montreal, gained recognition and popularity that went around the world.

The cold, heat, physical trauma, exercise, illness, fatigue are stress factors as well as joy, sorrow, fear, stress, success or failure. Stress manifests itself in a state, “state of stress”, ie by the changes it causes. Stress is a biological reality and organic. It is felt by a state of tiredness, fatigue, nervous tension and exhaustion. This stress state is destructive and responsible for a large number of physical and psychological disorders.

A person is under stress when the stress accumulated dose exceeds its optimal level of adaptation and that his body begins to show signs of exhaustion. Fatigue is a common and early, this can be fatigue, tiredness intellectual or physical exhaustion. The stressed person complains of a sore everywhere, neck, back, kidneys, legs. She often has one or more of the following symptoms: irritable, nervous, anxious, anxious, sad, discouraged, sexual difficulties, poor memory, headaches.

The reactions to stressors may be manifested by nervousness, irritability, insomnia, fatigue, headaches, anxiety. But the answer is sometimes a more acute when there is abdominal pain, myocardial infarction, hypertension, and even tumors.
Two main systems involved in these reactions

The nervous system: its stimulation leads to the secretion of hormones, catecholamines, and particularly one of them, adrenaline. This reaction is very fast and very brutal.

The endocrine system at a much slower response, it secretes cortisone.
The implementation of these systems may induce cardiovascular, digestive and metabolic

The cardio-vascular events are characterized in particular by accelerating the heart rate and increased blood flow. The release cortisone will result in a malfunction of the immune system or certain stomach ulcers.

Stress has an action whose significance we are not yet well known, the mechanisms of host defense, immune resources. Studies show that highly stressed individuals (death of spouse, unemployment ,…) have a significant decrease in blood lymphocytes, cells responsible for producing antibodies. Therefore, being under stress makes it more vulnerable to infections. You can easily notice about yourself: when you are wrong in your skin, you catch the flu more easily, sore throat or sinusitis. Conversely, if you’re fit, you will not be affected by viral infections, even if everyone around you is sick.

Heart disease, respiratory, digestive, but also anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, headaches, infections, not to mention accidents more common among people anxious in fact, it would go around talking to the pathology of stress symptoms, and is true that it by changing the nervous and hormonal balance of the body can cause many diseases.

But this does not mean that stress is the universal cause of disease: it would be too simple, and it is completely false. Influenza, for example, is caused by a virus, but the decline in natural immunity caused by stress makes them more sensitive. Similarly, we now know that the head of the ulcer of the stomach, while the stress has long been alleged, is actually a bacterium, Helicobacter pylori: the stress is not the cause of the disease at most a contributing factor.

It is especially important to realize that it is illusory to try to cure diseases one by one, without taking into account the situation where you are. If you have recurrent headaches, it is perhaps not necessary to constantly dangerous and expensive drugs. It is often useful to resolve the conflicts of daily life, sometimes the cause of this headache. Please talk to your doctor: you will see that many diseases disappear like magic when you feel better about yourself.
