What normally happen to you if stress occur?

This "things" happen to you and me when we feel stressed. We know that unmanaged stress is not good but we still unclear why it is not good. Come come let us see what negative effects can we get if we do not manage our stress well.




Physiology

During stressful state, our heart rate is increasing more than normal. This will lead to our increasing breathing rate. At this time our muscle will become tense and do you know why your hand become cold? It's because of the blood will moves to your muscle as a preparation for fight. This will lead to less blood at your brain and this is why stress people will become uncreative and hard to think. Blood pressure will increase because of the increasing heart pump rate and this makes us easily gets angry. Sometime we mad becuse of simple little thing.

Psychology

In terms of your stuffs inside your mind, you may feel:


  • Catastrophizing
    This makes us think that things are worse than it is. You will have the fear of moving forward and try "suppose to be good" stuffs.

  • Self-denigration
    Sometimes when people become too low profile, they actually having this self-denigration. This can be quite a trouble for them to move forward and improve themselves.

  • Problems in decision making
    It will be hard for you to decide the best decision for you when you are in stress condition. It quite be troublesome and need to be overcome as fast as possible.



Behavior

The effects of stress to people's behaviour are hyper attitude where they tend to move faster than normal people. They conduct frequent gestures that can be obviously seen by people. They also becoming impatient especially if others do work slower than them.

You cannot run away from Stress




Yes it is true that you cannot escape yourself from stress. It happens to me and to every body else in this universe. As long as a person is alive, stress will be in their daily lifestyles. So we can say that stress is normal. You will experience stress whether directly or not and whether you know it or not.


It is the level of stress and acceptance that makes it different from one person to another. It may be that one person can handle a lot of stresses due to work or family problem because of their experience in that field of life. However, what about person that experiencing “over stressed” for the first time? Surely they will feel shocked and this can lead to many negative effects if no proper ways to handle it been done.


In order to “reduce” level of stress, we need to know about it. See that I am using the word “reduce” because we surely cannot 100% eliminate stress. We can only help reducing stress level to a more acceptable level. This can be done through more than one method.


There is nobody that never experience stress in their life. The one manage to go through this stressful periods is the one who will achieve success because it is actually one of the ingredients of great achievement. They have the proper ways to cope with the stresses.


So right now please take some time to tell yourself and really tell yourself that stress is good. We just need to know how to control and cope with it. By achieving this, you will surely reach your goal safely and happily.


In the next post I will share some about the reactions of stress which will make you say, “No wonder I feel that way. Now I know.” =)

Everyday practices





Today I will share to you tips about what you can do daily in order to achieve better health. You can do this free without spending any money (you can even save money by not smoking ^_^).

1. Move your body

You don't have to go exercise to move your body. You can do it while you are going from one place to another. People nowadays become lazier as technologies are getting better. With the creation of lifts, people don't want to use stairs anymore. Even going up 1 or 2 floors also they will use lifts. I recommend that you use stairs if you just going 1 or 2 floors up.

Walking is good for your health, so practice yourself to walk to your destination if it is considerable near and you have time. Please don't avoid walking just because you are lazy. Your laziness will brought trouble for you in the future.


2. Watch out what goes into your mouth


Today's foods are absolutely delicious. It's due to the existence of many kinds of persevatives and additives. I know you know that these stuffs is not good but still you continue to consume a lot of the "delicious" foods. I am not saying that you cannot eat any of them. You need to enjoy life right? I know because I am thinking the same way too. We must taste all the delicious food. All I could say is for you to control your eating habits. You cannot avoid 100% the foods but you can add more healthy foods in your diet and reducing the unhealthy foods intake. It's better for you to control the level of "enjoyment" today so you can still enjoy 30 years from now instead of "suffering" from many kind of illnesses due to your past eating mistakes.


3. Don't smoke or QUIT smoke!

Smoking gives ZERO BENEFITS. I am 100% sure about it. Still I wonder why people loves to smoke? Does the act of putting smokey stick in one's mouth is considered as noble and macho? Sorry to say but I DON'T THINK SO! (Sorry for those people who are smoking that reads this blog right now but YOU DESERVE THE CRITICSM). Some people says, "Why do you need to care about me? I don't caused any trouble to people. I bought these 'macho sticks' (cigarette) with my own money." OMG man!? Didn't you learn facts about "passive smokers"? People who didn't smoke can get the negative effects of smoking just by living near to the smokers. We (passive smokers) are too kind to scold you for your BAD HABITS but please think about others even if don't care about yourself.

If you are not a smoker, I would like to CONGRATULATE you. You are in the right path of life. Please don't get confused and got influent by smokers in your area. Even if they say that it is good or whatever trick they try to use on you, DON'T INITIATE SMOKING HABIT. Stick to your healthy lifestyles and try helping your family and friends who smoke to stop doing the bad stuff.

I don't have to talk about the negative effects of smoking because I bet you already know about it. Stay away from smoking habit and you are 1 step closer to a healthy life. ^_^

Health for you from Banana




We all know what banana is.  However, we are still taking it for granted as "just another fruit".  Do you know that banana actually helps in our health seeking journey? I had done some research about this fruit and amazed by how much benefits it provides.  I will share some for your reading today. ^_^

Banana can help you to reduce stress level.  Potassium is the reason for this.  It can help to normalize your heartbeats, make sure oxygen reaches to your brain and helps maintaining the water level in your body.

You know that smoking is bad for your health. You want to stop smoking but it is hard for you because the effect of nicotine.  Vitamin C, A1, B6, B12, potassium and magnesium contained inside banana will help you in your fight against cigarette. (If you want it, banana will help you of course but if you don't, none can help you)

Banana have the effect of neutralizing the over-acidic intestine of people with ulcers problem.  

For those who suffering from Anaemia, banana can help your body to produce hemoglobin.  If you don't have the problem and your friends got, tell them about this and go to the shops to get some and add into their daily diet. one little informations may save many lifes if there are people that is sincerely sharing the informations.

We know that High Blood Pressure problem become everyone's to worry about.  Thanks to this fruit known as Banana because it helps in reducing the posibility of acquiring this disease.  We should act on every little methods that can assure our health in good condition.

It is not wrong for me to nominate banana as one of the "genius' food".  The potassium inside it can help the consumer to be more alert thus making them becoming "super sponge" to absorb the incoming knowledge and information. If you are in the process of learning something, go and buy a basket of banana and make it a habit to eat banana while you are studying or reading. 

For those who are thinking of dieting, banana is a "must" option to take.  Eating banana is included inside my "diet tips" list.  Make it a habit to eat banana as soon as you wake up every morning.  Japan people already knew about this importance of banana to their weight loss programme. That makes banana price to increased in Japan.  Make sure to stock your own banana before the price hike. ^^.  

There are a lot more benefits that we can get by eating banana daily.  It will take pages and pages of post to exlain them.. :)
So I guess I will stop here..
I hope this can help you in your journey of finding health.
I can show to you the money, but it is you who will decide whether to do it or not.

All the best to you,

Dive into the facts about Calcium

Calcium can be found at different places in our body.

  • 99% out of all the Calcium in our body are stored in our bones and teeth.
  • 1% were consists of:

                   (i)  Ionized Calcium that circulates to our body parts that
                          needed it.

                   (ii) Unionized Calcium that were stored inside the body
                          fluids, tissues, bloods and nerve cells.


Calcium can be obtained naturally in many kinds of foods and also supplement.


Natural source of Calcium:

  1. Milk products (Milk, Cheese, Yogurt,...)
  2. Green leafs vegetables
  3. Oysters


Foods and Drinks that is rich in Calcium:

  1. Cereals
  2. Biscuits
  3. Orange or Apple Juice
  4. Healthy Drinks such as milk and Soya drinks
  5. High fiber breads.

Other sources of Calcium:

  • Calcium supplement
  • MultiVitamin

Out of all the sources mentioned above, the easiest way to get Calcium is by taking the Calcium supplement.  Calcium supplement is created for the sole purpose of making sure the Calcium requirements of our body was fulfilled.  We do not have to worry about it because research had been done in order to give the best to the consumer's body.  

If we depend on natural food only, I am not sure if it can provide ample Calcium supply to our body.  This is due to the downgrade of the natural foods' nutrition contents that were down graded by our own technology to "mass produce" it..

In that case, spesific food for specific requirements need to be consumed.

Well, the decision is still in your hand because you are the "Boss of your own body" .. ^^
Take a wise decision is what you should do..

Are you in the "LIST"?

  There is still posibility that you become the next victim of Osteoporosis. Usually the victim will not know they have the disease until they experienced broken bone. By then, it's already too late. So it's important to check your bone's density regularly to make sure about the condition of your bone. This checking can be done by using the "Bone Density Test" at selected clinics or pharmacies.

  The tester will check your result by reffering to the WHO T-score definitions. From this comparison, your bone conditions can be classified whether it is Normal, Osteopenia (Reduction in Bone Density) or Osteoporosis.


Prevention still the BEST OPTION

  Until today, there is still no "cure" for the so known as Osteoporosis. We know that this disease can attack anyone (provided he/she have bones ^_^). So the only way to avoid from getting this disease is by doing preventive actions. Below I will list down some of the basic things to do which can be summarize to be our "everyday habit".

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Stop your bad eating habit 
----------------------------

Train yourself to eat in a more healthy ways. By reducing alcohol and coffee intake can also reduce the rate of bone thinning.


^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Exercise regularly
-------------------

At least two or three times a week to exercise are crucial to make sure your bones and joints are active.


^^^^^^^^^^^
Stop Smoking!
---------------

Experts believe that by taking 1 pack cigarette per day during adulthood can reduce your bone's density between 5% to 10%.


^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Need to take Supplement
--------------------------

In nowadays world, supplement intake said to be the most confirmed method to make sure our body needs of calciums are fulfilled. This is due to our foods in this modernized world have less nutrients compared to our bodily need. Important aspect that the manufacturers look are in term of profit. How can they increase profit? It's by making the foods tastier (using additives), looks interesting (color) and last longer (preservatives). All these aspects will not provide our body what it needs. It's only gonna make our health become worst from time to time.


We must be really careful about our health because everyone only have 1 body. It's our duty since we are born to take care of "it".
