So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

How Stress Negatively Affects Your Health and What You Can Do About It Now

By Annie Grimm


All of us know what stress is, but few of us know exactly what stress does to our bodies. Even less know what we will do about it. Everyday there is a bombardment of stressors in our lives. Stress is our body's way of rising to a challenge. Stress is a life-endangering situation (or at the very least our bodies believe it's life threatening). Our bodies immediately turn on a stress response strictly from a psychological state, like public presenting or handling an annoyed, yelling person. Although these circumstances are not a life or death situation, the body will treat these scenarios as if they were.

There are two hormones which are present in any nerve-racking situation; adrenaline (epinephrine) and glucocorticoid--these are the two components of the stress response. A high frequency of occurrence of these hormones leads to protracted sickness.

Our bodies answer to stress in many ways. It jeopardizes our health by causing increased heartbeat rate, elevated blood pressure, immune system dysfunction (including momentarily closing down all non-essential functions), destructing brain cells (which has effects on learning and memory--the hippocampus center of the brain) and even causes plaque build up in the arteries (atherosclerosis), among many other problems.

Stress is affecting the way our bodies function and it will affect our health today and for many years to come. So what are we able to do? There are terrific supplements for stress on the current market to help you cope with stress. Try and have a happier outlook on life; laugh more, love more and exercise frequently. 1 or 2 great supplements to try: New Chapter's Rhodiola Force, Holy Basil, and Perfect Calm.

Learning how to cope with stress is key to much better health. Repeated stress attacks only cause more problems for your health, and if you don't take the time to slow down and realize what effect stress is having on your life, you may regret you didn't take action. Get a new perspective and try a few all natural stress supplements to see what works best for you!
