Responding To Stress
Responding and being able to cope with stress is what most people today are looking for and thus it would be worth exploring how to respond to stress in the quest to gain some control over this negative effect and get back some semblance of peace in the everyday life cycle of the individual.
The body naturally reacts to any indication of stress, and most times this response is not healthy and often fatal. When the body is challenged by any condition that it considers being under stress, it will kick in the natural responses that would require it to sort out the problem as quickly as possible in order to normalize the overall conditions.
The hormones and cortisol from the adrenal cortex and adrenalin form the adrenal medulla go out on if usual synchronicity patterns.
The Basics
In the quest to normalize the body, many of the various systems will pit itself against each other; this most often will cause even further damage both mentally and physically. The initial ways the body responds to the mounting stress levels is through very visible conditions, one of which is skin inflammation or irritation.
Cortisol also contains immune system responses and is particularly useful when the responses are harmful as then the symptoms can be treated as opposed to being a silent problem. Among the more visible sign are usually allergies and autoimmune disorder.
The responses are described as allostasis which is actually the stability of the body being maintained or the homeostasis through the various stages of change. The body actively copes with the challenge by expending energy and attempting to put right the situation.
For the most part, is usually succeeds but if left unchecked the stress situation can eventually prove to be too much for the body to handle.
