STRESS (PART II)

The heart rate increases, respiration rate increases, blood pressure increases, the entire endocrinology system, hormones, epinephrine (US name for adrenalin), nor epinephrine (US name for noradrenalin), adrenalin hormones. Cholesterol is a steroid hormone, increased production of all steroid hormones.

So physiologically your entire body is turned on and stimulated.

If we experience stress over a long period of time it compromises all the efficiency with which our systems work.

If you sustain this over a long period of time you can develop ’Burn Up’

What this means is your totally overwhelmed and exhausted. You will either have some kind of illness, such as cancer or a stroke or some other illness.

You may have, what the lay person calls a nervous breakdown.

You may turn to self medicating types of things, such as drugs or alcohol, in an effort to get some relief.

Along with that your blood clots much easier and that was designed to protect us in case we got bitten or cut maybe, some 1300 generations ago.

But now those little platelets that cause clotting in the body, can’t tell the difference between a plaque of cholesterol which is on the inside of your artery or whether that artery is cut, because it had been bitten by a sabre tooth tiger or something like that.

So where does the clot form ? It forms on the inside and where do the surges of blood go? They literally pummel the inner lining of that artery like a pile driver, hitting it 30 or 40 times a day.

Then there is the big one that we always talk about and the number 1 killer is coronary heart disease, a heart attack. Of that group of people about half of them die a sudden death. The first symptom of that heart attack is death, not pain but just sudden death, your gone.
