Stress Treatment
STRESS
Stress is any taxing activity on your body. Typically we breakdown the term stress into 3 categories (physical, mental, and chemical)
TYPES OF STRESS
- Physical – Physical stress or trauma is any force put on or through a body. A car accident, fall, or exercise all are forms of physical stress. Our bodies are designed to handle physical stress
- Mental – Humans were designed to get short bursts of energy in response to stress to ensure their survival. When a tiger chases you, it is imperative that your body has maximal energy to fight or escape. Problems can occur when this process goes on for too long without complete resolution. This is the “stress” we refer to commonly today. When projects at work are getting backed up and you have to perform a constant balancing act in your home life, the “stress” of these situations left unresolved can cause pain, headaches, high blood pressure, and even a heart attack if left unmanaged.
- Chemical – Chemical stress includes food additives, air pollution, water pollution, hormones and antibiotics in our food supply and the chemicals our own bodies manufacture during fight or flight times.
