How Stress Can Affect Your Weight

Friday, September 12th, 2008

Research studies have found that being under constant stress can play a role in how much a person weighs. In fact, how a person copes with the everyday stresses that come their way can have an impact on their waistline.The Danger of Abdominal FatIn particular, too much stress can lead to a build up of fat around the middle. This is the worst spot on the body for fat to accumulate. Abdominal fat is considered to be extremely dangerous as it has been linked to an increase in a number of diseases such as diabetes and hypertension.  According to a study done at Yale University, women  appear to be at a greater risk of developing fat in their abdominal area due to  an increase in stress, than do men.A Hormone Called CortisolWhen a person is experiencing a great deal of stress, the body responds by releasing a hormone into the system known as cortisol. Cortisol plays a role in fat storing itself around the waistline and in the abdominal region.The unfortunate side of cortisol is that if you do not find ways to calm yourself and alleviate the stress, your levels of this hormone will remain high even after the stressor disappears. To give an example of this-If you have a 4pm deadline at work and you are stressed out, your cortisol level will be high. If you do not find a way to cope adequately with the stress and to relieve it in a healthy manner, then the cortisol level will still be high the next day, and possibly even the next day, even though the problem has been resolved. The stress connected to the original source hangs on because you did not cope in the best way possible. If cortisol levels remain high for a prolonged period of time, this will make it possible for more and more fat to be deposited around your middle. It does not help that many people eat more when they are stressed. Taken together, this can greatly expand the waistline of a person living under stressful circumstances. Coping With StressThe good news in all of this is that while you cannot completely avoid stress, you can find healthy ways to deal with it. Exercise plays a key role in stress reduction.  People who do some form of physical activity on a consistent basis suffer from less anxiety and tend to have fewer health concerns.Exercise is also excellent for a person’s mental health and well being.  Being physically active boosts self confidence levels and allows a person to be more mentally fit. This means that the person has an easier time coping with the stresses of life.   Exercising for as little as 30 to 60 minutes a day is enough to reap the benefits in terms of stress. The important thing is not what you do, but the fact that you get out there and do some form of exercise at least three to five times a week, if not more. 

7 Benefits Of Massage Therapy

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

Stressed out?  Need a good way to relax and feel better about life?  Why not get a massage?  Getting regular massages helps relieve the physical and mental stress from your body, leaving you ready to take on new challenges.  Here are some of the great benefits of massage,

Improves immune system functioning
Studies have shown that the number of white cells in your blood increases after a massage.  These are the cells that help the body fight diseases.   With regular massage, you can have a stronger immune system and get sick less often.

Improves circulation
By relaxing your muscles, blood is able to flow more freely through your veins.  Improved circulation gives you a boost of energy for the rest of your day.  Plus, increased circulation in the skin can even reduce the appearance of cellulite if done on a regular basis

Reduces pain. 
When muscles are tight and tense all day long, they eventually become sore.  By relaxing the muscles with a massage, you can ease the pain caused by sore, stiff muscles.  Plus, increased circulation further helps relieve pain from the area that is rubbed, and can help relieve tension headaches.

Decreases stress and anxiety.
Stress is one of the most prevalent, but preventable causes of health problems in modern society.  De-stressing is not only a great way to feel better; it also helps you live longer.  If you’ve ever had a massage, you already know how relaxed it makes you feel.  With relaxed muscles, decreased pain, improved circulation, your body lets go of all the daily stress you’ve been holding on to. 

Decreases blood pressure.  There was a study conducted that showed that a simple, short touch can immediately cause a drop in blood pressure.  Combine this with the improved circulation, relaxed muscles, and decreased anxiety and you get a great way to keep your blood pressure low.  You should be careful if you have low pressure to begin with; make sure to get up slowly and take it easy after a massage.

Improves mood
Massage has been shown to make you feel better due to many of the reasons listed above.  It is so good at improving mood, it has been used for treating depression in women who had recently lost a child.  If massage can help with their depression, it can certainly lift a bad mood.
 
So, think a massage might help you but just don’t think you can afford it?  You should check out massage schools.  There you can get a quality massage at an incredibly low price. 
So what are you waiting for?  Go out and make an appointment for a massage today.  You’ll be feeling great in no time.
