Stress is the body's reaction to some kind of strong mental impact. No wonder this word is translated as "pressure". In addition, it is a process that has several stages: anxiety, resistance, exhaustion.
Instructions
Step 1
You have just experienced a great shock - sad or joyful - it doesn't matter. Under the influence of a stressor, an ancient escape mechanism is triggered in your body. This is what our ancestors did when they were in danger. Pulse quickens, blood pressure rises. The adrenal glands begin to produce adrenaline. A special blow falls on the stomach, and stomach acid begins to eat away at its walls. This is why severe stress can cause ulcers within a few hours. So try to do the following.
Step 2
Direct the escape mechanism in the right direction - arrange a real run. Do any exercise or physical chores around the house.
Step 3
Drink tea with milk, mineral alkaline water, broth to prevent ulcers. Breathing exercises are useful for the heart and blood vessels: inhale - hold the breath - exhale for a count of five.
Step 4
Never "treat" stress with smoking and alcohol. This will cause additional stress and aggravate the situation.
Step 5
The second stage is more favorable for the body. It only occurs when the stressor continues. All the body's defenses are working well, you feel in a position to move mountains. There is a great danger here: the mobilization of all forces will sooner or later lead to their demobilization. Therefore, it is better to continue all the activities described above. And work to eliminate the stressor. A psychologist will help you with this.
Step 6
The stage of exhaustion creeps up when you ignored everything that is written above. And this is already fraught. First of all, somatic diseases. It is impossible to list them, because it is known that all diseases are caused by nerves. In addition, depression may develop. And here you cannot do without specialists. And yet, whatever doctor you turn to, look at the root - look for a stressor. It is a pity, but it is at the stage of exhaustion that a person finally realizes that he is under stress.
