We all know what stress is. Stress is essentially
any "challenge" to
the normal balance of the body's major systems. Under normal
circumstances, the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) activates to meet
the challenge
and then returns the body to normal balance after the stressor
has been dealt with.
Life gets tougher when the ANS is overwhelmed by
multiple
stressors or single stressors that continue for long periods
of time. Over time, the body actually entrains or "learns" to
stay stressed and begins to show common stress-related symptoms
such as headaches, muscle tension or weakness, reduced immune
efficiency, raw
emotions, short-term memory loss, etc.
A Special Note About Stress and Weight
Did you also know that stress can even throw a wrench into an otherwise well
thought out and executed diet and fitness program?
It's true!
Excess stress can promote very high levels of a powerful
stress hormone called
Cortisol. Long-term exposure
to Cortisol (as in chronic stress and burnout) actually make
fat storage cells, especially around the middle of the body
resistant to release. That is to say, regardless of the diet
or the work
out,
the fat around the middle will be shut off from the metabolic
cycle. Even worse,
high levels of Cortisol and adrenal exhaustion increase
the amount of time that it takes to recover from exercise as
well as lowering your over-training threshold. Basically, you
reach the over-training level sooner and take longer to recover.
The Stress Nine-One-One breath pacing method restores the ANS's
ability to recover from stress by strengthening the "parasympathetic" or
recovery branch of the ANS. This action breaks the stress cycle
and reduces the level of circulating cortisol and generally restores
homeodynamism (dynamic homeostasis or balance) as shown as
an increase
in HRV. The 3 great reports included in the software program
explain this in detail.
Most important is that doing the breathing exercises regularly
increases ones resistance to over-stress and burnout. So the benefit
is not just in the recovery from burnout but also the vast enhancement
and optimizing of any fitness program.
A diet and/or fitness program is
much more effective when the underlying systems are balanced and able
to handle the demands placed upon them. Within our sister site, www.brainspeak.com, stress 9-1-1 is included in our BRAINSTREAM Achieve Your Perfect Weight program for that very reason!
