How do you stay calm under pressure so intense it makes you want to scream? Especially if you want to stay away from Valium? Especially if you need to get some things done that require focus. Read on for five more things you can do that will help you calm yourself down.
Individuals who have highly pressured work settings, long-term relationship problems, persistent financial worries, and chronic loneliness not only experience depression or insomnia but also make themselves prone to having diabetes, cancer, heart diseases and gastrointestinal problems.
1. Get a hug.If there is someone nearby whom you have a hugging relationship with, by all means, get a hug. Make it a nice and long one, if appropriate. If there's no one around, maybe cuddle a pet. Hugging or cuddling a pet releases oxytocin, which will counteract your stress hormones. And it also calms your stress response overall.
Parents who suspect that their children might be positive for ADHD should strongly consider having them examined by a specialist. Diagnosis of ADHD can only be made by doctors who have thorough knowledge of this condition. These parameters are usually used by doctors to determine if a child is ADHD-positive:A child exhibits behaviors common among those with ADHD; A child exhibits isturbing or hyperactive behavior that is uncommon in other children of the same age; andA child exhibits disturbing or hyperactive behavior for more that six months.
When a person experiences extreme or chronic stress, immune factors such as cytokines, neurotransmitters such as serotonin, and digestive acids such as protease are produced. Cytokines are components that cause inflammation in areas of the body with infection, serotonin affects contraction of smooth muscles, and protease controls protein digestion.
4. Valerian & Co.There are a number of natural supplements that help with calming yourself down. I have found valerian especially effective, alone or in combination with a variety of other herbs, including passion flower, scullcap, St. John's wort, kava, and more. Other supplements, including GABA are also highly effective and can be used alone or in combination with the former.
Careful though, if you're taking anti-depressants. If you do, be sure to check with your doctor before self-medicating. Also be careful with those herbs if you have to drive or use heavy machinery. Make sure you know how they affect you before deciding whether you're still safe to drive. Of course, intense stress too affects your ability to drive, so watch out in any event.
The probiotics, also called as "for life" bacteria, compete for space in the stomach with the harmful bacteria and decrease the inflammatory responses. These effects of probiotics, therefore, make it a good possible treatment for gastrointestinal problems caused by chronic stress.
In summary, this article talks about stress, mainly being a psychological occurrence, does not only impose a threat for possible psychological problems resulting from it. Moreover, stress also causes physical illnesses such as gastrointestinal problems through influencing the nervous system to activate certain reactions within the body. Certain reactions cause changes within the stomach which heighten its vulnerability to harmful bacteria. Probiotics, being bacteria that are not harmful and can be used against harmful bacteria, can then be used as treatment for gastrointestinal problems. - 32543
