Recovery of the body after stress: modern methods

жемини

Post-stress states lead to exhaustion of the nervous system, sleep disturbance and decreased immunity, all of which are accompanied by a strong feeling of tension.

“The idea of the independence of the immune and nervous systems turned out to be erroneous. The autonomic nervous system penetrates the tissues of the body with nerves that form or store the cells of the immune system. Then these cells enter the blood. In addition, the tissues of the immune system turn out to be sensitive to hormones that are produced by the pituitary gland at the command of the brain. Therefore, as it turned out, the brain constantly pokes its nose into the affairs of the immune system” – Robert Sapolsky “Psychology of Stress”

For example, 100 years ago it was established that if you waved an artificial rose in front of the nose of a person who suffered from an allergy to roses, he would have an allergic reaction. Another example, if we ask the first group of actors to rehearse a gloomy, depressive scene all day, and the second – an optimistic, joyful etude. The immune system’s response of the actors from the first group will weaken, and that of the actors from the second group will strengthen. Such studies have also been conducted.

How does stress work? What does stress affect?

The risk of certain diseases increases. For example, a connection has been noticed between prolonged stress and the occurrence of oncology.
Immune tissues, for example, the thymus, can atrophy during prolonged stressful conditions.
The formation of lymphocytes is suppressed. Their circulation in the blood slows down, and the time during which lymphocytes already in the blood remain in it is shortened. This suppresses the production of new antibodies in response to the infectious agent. In this case, the disease develops “imperceptibly” for the immune system, threatening to cause an autoimmune disease in the future.
Stress and energy. Constant tension of the nervous, immune and lymphatic systems leads to a large expenditure of energy. We spend our energy on the destruction of our own immune system.

What should we do to relax the brain and body? What methods should we use to restart the immune system?

1. Master the methods of deep relaxation to overcome tension;
2. Minimize sensory overload, which means to reduce the impact of the external environment;
3. We recommend a comprehensive approach, which includes simultaneous work with the body and psyche. This is a self-development, which will help answer the following questions:
Why do I have such a reaction to life circumstances?
Can I learn to react differently?

We encourage you to analyze why stressful conditions arise and what is the reason for their prolonged nature.
And we propose a modern approach to your health: attending sessions of body renewal in a health capsule will promote a fast and effective recovery process
