Our Health in a Modern World - Part One

How is todays world? Economy fluctuates and so does our salaries, gas prices only tend to go up, value on our homes down, bills never cease to come and our lack of liquidity makes our credit card balances go up, stable income is not sufficient to keep up with inflation rates... talk about stress!! What about a break here please!

That is how a lot of people are feeling right now. This is causing great deals of stress which is know the source of a great deal of malfunctioning within our bodies system. Disorders, nervous break downs are just the beginning. Because we are always in a rush, we never have time to actually sit down and eat... Eating in company of our family on weekends!?? Sorry, gotta look for a part time to pay the cell phone bill that went through the roof. All this affects our digestive system and our nutrition. Keeping high stress levels will cause a complete malfunction in our nervous systems, signs are you stop enjoying what you used to, because you are now always thinking about something else, you smile less, get irritated easily, loose focus, forget things, anxiety and nervous ticks specially around your eye area.

One of the systems that suffers the most is our Immune System. Increased nervous activity causes distress of all of our systems and causes malfunction in most areas, but specially our immune system. It has been proven that as your stress levels increase, all of your body systems fall into a depression, functioning only to a fraction of their regular performance. A depressed immune system is the beginning of getting sick. You have propensity of getting sick quicker faster because your immune system has its guards low, by the time it takes to make a reaction its already too late, you ALREADY GOT SICK!! This is all a vicious circle... you get sick, you go to the doctor to get better, he puts you on prescriptions, you spend money on doctor+prescription=you end up working overtime--->MORE STRESS!!=SICK!!
