Stress
LifeSource Vitamins
The popular idea of stress in relation to human health is often described
as an unpleasant mental or emotional experience, as when people say they
are "stressed out". This expression relates primarily to the idea of
prolonged or sudden and intense stress, which can have unpleasant effects
on the body, impairing the ability to function, and even harming health.
However, the biological concept of stress is much more broadly defined as
any challenge (physical or psychological) that requires an organism to
adapt in a healthy manner. In other words, responses to stress can
sometimes be of benefit when the organism is strengthened by the
experience. Many health problems have been associated with various kinds of
sudden or long-term stress, including alcohol abuse, asthma, chronic
fatigue, erectile dysfunction, male infertility, fibromyalgia, headaches,
heart disease, high blood pressure, indigestion, and many others. The
discussion below focuses on reducing the effects of excessive, unwanted
stress.

Treatment
Diet
Recommended Foods
Flax seed is a good source of fiber and alpha-linolenic acid (an omega-3
fatty acid) and is a major source of lignans that may influence hormone
function. It can help reduce the blood pressure-elevating effect of mental
stress and reduce stress-related changes in fibrinogen, a blood component
associated with increased risk of heart disease. Eat a healthful diet
filled with lean protein, fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains.
Foods to Avoid
Drinking alcohol can reduce feelings of stress, but using alcohol regularly
in response to chronic stress or repetitive stress can lead to an unhealthy
dependency.
Other recommendations
While cigarette smokers often describe their habit as relaxing, smoking is
associated with increased stress levels, and stopping the habit eventually
results in reduced feelings of stress. Exercise has long been thought to
have potential benefits to mental health and stress reduction, however,
exercise can be stressful when it is intense or competitive. People who
improve their exercise habits develop changes in their mental attitudes
that are associated with better resistance to stress.
