Are too many pressures and demands on you? Are you losing sleep worrying about work, school or overdue bills? Eating on the run because your schedule is just too busy? You’re not alone. Everyone experiences stress at times  – adults, teens, and even kids. But there are ways to minimize stress and manage the stress that’s unavoidable.

Some stress is normal and even useful. Stress can help if you need to work hard or react quickly. For example, it can help you win a race or finish an important job on time.

But if stress happens too often or lasts too long, it can have bad effects. It can be linked to headaches, an upset stomach, back pain, and trouble sleeping. It can weaken your immune system, making it harder to fight off disease. If you already have a health problem, stress may make it worse.

If you don’t know how to control the stress, you will likely become moody, tense, or depressed. Your relationships may suffer and your performance at important activities may suffer.

Stress is created when we react to particular events. It’s the body’s way of rising to a challenge and preparing to meet a tough situation with focus, strength, stamina, and heightened alertness.

Stress can be caused from a variety of situations including outright physical danger to making a class presentation or taking a semester’s worth of your toughest subject.

The human body responds to stressors by activating the nervous system and specific hormones. The hypothalamus signals the adrenal glands to produce more of the hormones adrenaline and cortisol and release them into the bloodstream. These hormones speed up heart rate, breathing rate, blood pressure, and metabolism.

Blood vessels open wider to let more blood flow to large muscle groups, putting our muscles on alert. Pupils dilate to improve vision. The liver releases some of its stored glucose to increase the body’s energy. And sweat is produced to cool the body. All of these physical changes prepare a person to react quickly and effectively to handle the pressure of the moment.

When working properly, the body’s stress response enhances a person’s ability to perform well under pressure. But the stress response can also cause problems when it overreacts or fails to turn off and reset itself properly. Stress can burn out the adrenal glands leading to chronic fatigue and other health problems.

The stress response (also called the fight or flight response) is critical during emergency situations, such as when a driver has to slam on the brakes to avoid an accident. It can also be activated in a milder form at a time when the “pressure” is on but there’s no actual danger, like stepping up to take a foul shot that could win the basketball game, getting ready for a business presentation, or sitting down for a final exam. A little of this stress can help keep you on your toes, ready to rise to a challenge and the nervous system quickly returns to its normal state, standing by to respond again when needed.

But stress doesn’t always happen in response to things that are immediate or that are taken care of quickly. Ongoing or long-term events, like coping with a divorce or moving to a new neighborhood or school, and money worries can cause stress, too.

Long-term stressful situations can produce a lasting, low-level stress that’s hard on people. The nervous system senses continued pressure and may remain slightly activated and continue to pump out extra stress hormones over an extended period. This can wear out the body’s reserves, leaving a person feeling exhausted or overwhelmed, weakening the body’s immune system, and causing other problems.

When toxins overload the body, disease causing microorganisms grow at an alarming rate. The protocol for anxiety then is to kill harmful microorganisms by taking 1-2 droppers of ShopFreeMart Pure Silver Concentrate 3x daily.

Toxins also put undue stress on the organs of elimination. It is then important to eliminate toxins that are causing stress. Acidophilus helps clean the intestinal tract, which is very important. ShopFreeMart products also provides important nutrients that can help eliminate toxins while getting at the root of underlying the nutritional deficiency of Anxiety as well.

Shallow breathing is often related to stress, and tight clothing coupled with a lifetime spent rushing to and fro, sitting hunched over desks and working or playing on computers produces stress. Proper breathing plays an important part in reducing stress. (See Breathing Exercises)

The mechanics of breathing determine oxygen supply. Shallow chest breathing gives rise to oxygen deficiencies, as there are very few blood vessels surrounding the upper lobes of the lungs. Most of the blood vessels surround the lower lobes of the lung. Deep, abdominal breathing is the answer to optimum oxygen levels.

Finally, stress burns up minerals and other nutrients in the body, much the same way that a car burns gasoline when you continually have the gas pedal to the metal.

If you are running faster than you can without catching up, like a dog chasing its own tail, then you need to take a close look at your diet and increase the supplements that you are taking. Fast food, typical caffeinated energy drinks, soda pop, chip and candy bars only serve to increase physical stress, which increases the mental stress you are dealing with. (See Diet)

B Vitamins are extremely important when dealing with Stress. ShopFreeMart products contains B Vitamins and if you drink those “dangerous” energy drinks, you might consider switching to ShopFreeMart products for natural energy.

Neither can the body handle stress without plenty of minerals. Fruits and vegetables today only have 15-20 minerals. When taking ShopFreeMart products you need not take any other supplements In my opinion there are no other nutritional supplements equal to ShopFreeMart products. They are safe for all ages including newborns and nursing and pregnant mothers.

It is always advisable to ask advice from your doctor when adding new supplements to your diet if you are under a doctor’s care. But even then, do your own research because doctor’s receive little to no education in nutrition. I know because I am a medical doctor.

Reaction to stress creates a “feeling” that you are sinking or losing. You can learn not to react to stress and at the same time tune your heart to higher frequencies, which will begin to attract to you more money, better relationships and a more relaxed lifestyle. ShopFreeMart PureGold and Vitalize products help to reduce stress faster and more completely than any supplements I have found.

I have written chapters on Joy, Faith and Prayer to name a few, that can give you an entirely new outlook on life and by practicing these principles you will become a different person and will begin to look at things from the inside out and not from the outside in.
