Walter Helwich - How to fight stress?

Walter Helwich is not far from the truth when said on his blog that nowadays, stress is a term that is commonly used to define our state, when we feel uncomfortable, but it leaves severe consequences, which are hardly recognizable. In addition, the stress is a quiet killer, which provokes a wide range of diseases such as degenerative diseases, cancer, diabetes etc. The weight gain, mental illness and hair loss are frequent indicators that you have too much stress in your life. But, every human being who wants to live a peaceful and quality mental, physical and emotional life should aim to live stress-free life.

When stressed, the body produces three hormones: adrenaline, noradrenaline and cortisol. All of them are produced by the adrenal glands and all trigger:

- Suppression of neurotransmitter activity

- Disintegration of the endocrine system

- Weak immunity

- Slow digestion

These hormones influence the body’s response to stress. Furthermore, Walter Helwich thinks that the stress causes mood swings, obsessive-compulsive disorders and bipolar hampered hormonal imbalance. They can also cause hair loss and fat accumulation, especially in the abdominal area. In addition, as the stress is becoming a common part of our life, so as the insulin resistance becoming higher, adds Mr. Helwich. When we are constantly in a state of ‘threat’ or ‘emergency’, the body releases glucose in order to provide enough fuel to fight or escape. Unfortunately, this is not quite necessary, so the pancreas produces insulin surge to deal with the onslaught of glucose. Over time, this cycle depletes the pancreas and creates resistant-insulin cells.

When the glucose metabolism becomes ineffective, the rest of the organs such as brain, liver, adrenal glands, thyroid and bowel suffer because of the lack of fuel, and after follow some diseases including high blood pressure, arthritis, kidney failure, neurological problems and ulcers, adds Walter Helwich.
