Today's environment demand a lot of our time and attention and is increasingly complex. High stress levels weaken the natural defense mechanisms of the body. Stress hormones and signals are being released throughout it. At Foresight Chiropractic Wellness Center, the doctors work with their patients to help them understand how stress--physical, chemical and emotional--when left un-managed, may lead to poor health conditions such as diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and high blood pressure.
Your body's natural reaction is fight or flight state whenever you feel stressed or threatened and it affects every part of the body. The hypothalamus, which is located in the brain, stimulates the sympathetic nervous system increasing the heart rate, raising blood volume and blood pressure. Eyesight becomes more focused, blood flow is directed away from the digestive system and extremities. These stress levels can be brought on by something imaginary or a problem that is all too real. When emotional, physical, and chemical levels of stress are accumulated over a period of time, the result can be disastrous for our health creating chronic illnesses and pain.
