Editor’s Comments: Stress, like food, can be a factor in disease, weakness, pains, and unhappiness. Nothing will digest if you are stressed all day; the nervous system can only do so much, and if you are stressing out too much, you can kiss digestion goodbye.
A stressed body creates an unbalanced pH environment in the body leading to a variety of diseases and unhealthy conditions. If your work is stressing you out, maybe it is time to consider finding a new job; however, if you enjoy the stress, then be sure that you know how to handle it, so that it does not effect your health and well-being.
You have the power to controlling the stress from becoming dis-stressful, and the power to keep it at bay; people have to learn that they are the ones that allow people and things to stress them, and not the other way around.
If people are not in the right environment, it is a matter of changing that environment. If money is perceived to be more important than health, in the end, the money will be used to correct all the health damages caused by putting the money first before health, or pain will be endured in the end.
Basically, it will balance out.
We are in control of our emotions; however, taught otherwise, and are constantly bombarded with mind manipulation all around us.
The article below saves itself in the conclusion when it states that contributing factors should be studied and identified. It asks for more studies to find the other contributors to heart disease; however, they already exist. They are talking about diet and environment studies.
To reduce the chances of heart disease by over 95% or more regardless of a stressful career, a diet change is the answer to help cope with stress.
Some unhealthy habits missed in the conclusion should have included: cooked food, high-fat foods, radiated food, and the pollution from our surroundings (Automobile, factories, and freight ships).
Additionally, stress management should be taught to be managed as a part of companies professional development focus. Good management and the HR department should focus on ways to significantly reduce stress before it turns into distress, which would also improve business.
Japanese companies have added negative ion machines to their offices to ensure that their workers get the proper nutrients from air so that their workers are more efficient.
If there were such a concern, which it has become, this should be a focus for corporations and governments alike.
Saturated fats, trans fats, an enzyme-less diet, meals void of macro- and micro-nutrients, are also contributors to heart disease. There research is out there if one looks.
If we want to compare ourselves to nature, animals in nature have much more stress than we do. They have the stress of having to keep watch for predators every second of their life. How about that for stress. Animals in captivity have smaller brains because they do not have that added stress, which their wildlife counterparts have. However, humans also have the same issue of having a smaller brain in captivity.
We actually have less stress because of this very reason. We, because of our captive lifestyle, also have smaller brains than we should; this is not only because of our lack of stress to watch for our lives every second of the day, but because we are eating food which shrink our brains as do the captive animals we feed. The studies are available if you look.
Further, if one accepts the challenge and gives diet change a chance they would be able to prove it to themselves.
“People can have opinions and agree or disagree, however, cannot judge a concept until they experience it to the fullness of its reality.” – Dr. Douglas Graham
It has been shown that stress is better managed by people on a hygienic diet such as The 80/10/10 rv Diet, which is basically a low-fat, raw, vegan diet.
Once again, there is only one way to find out if this concept is accurate, and that is to prove it wrong – experience it.
(Reuters – London) High pressure jobs like nursing can increase young women’s risk of heart disease and younger women appear to be more vulnerable, scientists said Thursday.
It is already known that having stressful or demanding jobs can lead to higher heart risks but previous research has largely focused on men.
In this study, researchers from Denmark assessed the impact of work pressure and degree of personal influence in the workplace on the heart health of more than 12,000 nurses.
The nurses were all aged between 45 and 64 in 1993, when they were questioned about daily work pressures and about how much they felt they had control over their work. Their health was then tracked for 15 years using hospital records.
The results, published in the journal Occupational and Environmental Medicine, showed that nurses who said their work pressures were a little too high were 25 percent more likely to develop heart disease as those who said work pressures were manageable and appropriate.
Those who felt work stress was much too high were 35 percent more likely to have heart disease after other risk factors like smoking and lifestyle were taken into account.
But when the findings were analyzed by age they showed that nurses under age 51 were at significant risk of heart disease.
A separate analysis of this age group showed those who felt they were under moderate work pressure were 60 percent more likely to have heart disease while those who said they faced excessive pressures were almost twice as likely to have it.
These findings held true even after taking account of other risk factors.
“This study adds to the previous body of evidence suggesting harmful effects of excessive psychological demands at work on cardiac health, but is one among very few that demonstrates the effect among women,” the researchers, from Glostrup University Hospital in Denmark, wrote in the study.
They said more studies were now needed to identify what was contributing to the perceived high work pressure.
Heart disease is the leading killer of men and women in Europe, the United States and many other rich nations. Together with diabetes, cardiovascular diseases accounted for almost one third of all deaths around the world in 2005, according to the Geneva-based World Health Organization.
June Davison, a cardiac nurse at the British Heart Foundation, said that feeling under pressure at work meant stressed employees may pick up unhealthy habits and add to their risk of developing heart problems.
“Pressurized workers may reach for cigarettes, snack foods and alcohol to make themselves feel better,” she said in an emailed comment. “If you feel under pressure you should try and tackle it in a positive way and get active during work hours.”
