It is all in mind
Truth (up to 1 point)
The way of stress is very physical and focuses on hormones such as cortisol and the impact on us. However, this process is caused by the brain (especially the tonsils and hypothalamus), and the way our brain responds to stress is often set in early childhood and even in the uterus. Pregnant women who experience extreme stress can lead to infants that react strongly to stress hormones. It is difficult to realize the way out of the stress itself. It is not always impossible because the cause is serious and inevitable. Showed in some studies If you say that people are not stressed by people, there are few symptoms. American study In the deprived areas of Chicago, teenagers, who were worried about violent crimes, found that they would tend to get better food if they simply tried not to think about it.
Always bad for you
untruth
Stress is the center of human beings, and our fighting or flight response to the most obvious and visible expression-immediate threat has evolved to protect us from danger. There is also evidence that we can help we concentrate. research Video game players participate in the tournament Those who have little to increase in cortisols have had the worst, and those with the highest growth were performed in moderation. Winners tended to have extra cortisols, but not too many. This hormone and psychological balance adjustment are different for each person, so it is difficult to measure the “right” stress. But as a broad guide, stress is less likely to be harmful if stress is predictable, especially if it is voluntary. Studies show that the orchestra shows several signs of obvious stress. But this is a thrilling stress, which is less likely to adversely affect.
It is preservation Men’s business executive
untruth
For decades, research on stress has been entirely based on men and often focuses on better departures. The groundbreaking thing is A Swedish pioneering study It has found that people with high demand for time but have little control over their lives tend to be most stressed. Subsequent studies showed how to take care of care or to be avoided through various jobs. This discovery is the core of many understanding of modern stress, especially modern stress related to work. Michael Marmot, a pioneering researcher, argued that a job like Amazon -type warehouses, where the pace is constantly and all movements, argued that “we brought everything we knew about psychological social labor risks, put them into the syringe and injected people.”
I am a new worry
untruth
Modern understanding of stress is based on experiments on laboratory rats performed in the 1930s by the Austrian -Hungarian doctor and researcher Hans Selye in the 1930s. But even Victorians worryed that innovations such as railroad travel and the whole body were too much for humans to deal with. George Miller Beard, a creative popular event of disability called neurasthenia, used his title, American Nervousness, in 1881, to use his stress about everything from science to citizens’ freedom and “the highest type of American girl’s wonderful beauty.” Is modern stress worse? It is definitely different. Compared to Victoria, Briton in the 21st century is about 60 times lowered by the state’s safety net, decades of life expectancy, and child mortality. But focus on whether the information overload of things like the phone is a new type of stress. It is especially interested in children, but it is far from new. The term “information overload” was created by American writer Alvin Toffler, and the best -selling book Future Shock insisted that the speed of society due to modern technology was too much in the brain of people in 1970.
It is mainly caused by big worry
Mainly
Charles Bukowski pointed out that in 1972, human beings can generally cope with major upheavals, but in the end, there are too many “a series of small tragedy small tragedies” -“snaps without time” to unexpected legislation. He was right. Repeated studies show that stress tends to be the most influenced by people in chronic. But it is also important to pay attention to the fact that the size of worry is relative. The “trivial” stress qualifications are entirely personal, subjective, personal and background to income. The bill larger than expected can be fatal if it is poor. There are several ways to stress or at least to alleviate the effect. But do not say that a person is mild. It is entirely a problem with you and your body.
Exercise always helps
untruth
There is an endless study that shows that physical activity can relieve stress symptoms. But other studies have shown that very high intensity exercise can worsen problems. One study Volunteers are placed in a physical test using intense mock interviews or fixed bicycles. After the test, the questionnaire recognized the latter group as being less stressed, but the cortisol was high and stayed for several hours. Cortisol itself is not a problem for the body. It plays a central role in keeping things like blood sugar levels, serves as a hormonal alarm clock, and gradually increases to the morning peak at night to help us take us out of bed. The problem comes with the chronic trigger of the body’s stress response. So how to avoid this with exercise? One tip is to keep it from feeling like households. Research results show that this can be especially stressed. The other is to see if less intensive exercise, probably yoga, helps. But there is no firm rules than ever before. Everyone is different.
If you are stressed, you lose weight
Really and false
Some people lose weight with chronic stress. But about two -thirds are more likely to wear it. There are two different elements in the workplace, one is hormone. The study links high -level hormones with a high level of hormones, such as Cortisol. Store the fat around the above. Studies also show that stress tends to push people with less healthy eating habits. Volunteers have artificial stress, present a variety of food tables, and the entire sub -genre of research, which speaks of snacks as desired. Those who are exposed to stress are attracted to fat, sweet or salty choices each time and eat more than the untrusted control group.
Animals also feel stressed
truth
The same fight or flight hormone alarm system is present in mammals, birds, fish, amphibians and reptiles. And this is not just about existential threats. A study on Gaco monkeys shows that lower absent animals in the unit indicate higher levels of stress hormones. But the unique thing of human beings is the idea of chronic prediction stress. For 20 years, Robert Sapolsky, an American biologist who studies Kenya Gaco Monkeys First joke: “It is amazing to realize that dinosaurs secretly secretly secrete glucocorticoids while avoiding predators or seeking foods. For humans, expectations are the purpose. For example, if you are stupid about the test, the research system can be a bit comfortable. Simply telling people not to worry about the future event should not be guilty of worry.
It is your fault that you are stressed
Very false
There are two wrong and very obvious reasons for this. Stress is often imposed by inevitable external factors, and people’s physical reactions can often be worsened by their background, especially childhood and infancy. But there are more things in it. Stress acts more difficult to avoid the situation that causes it like poverty. American study When the poor were completely requested to think about the virtual car repair bill, they performed less performance in the subsequent test. Another study shows that this effect is almost the same as losing sleep overnight or spilling 15 IQ points. This is not a trivial effect.
There is nothing to do about it
Truth (and not yet)
This is accurate in the sense that stress can often be imposed in your life situation and a pre -setting method in which your body reacts. But the physical expression of stress can be solved more. For example, chronic stress may be more likely to cause metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, but more physically active can reduce this risk. Some diets can have similar effects, including a lot of green vegetables and polyphenols, known for their characteristics of anti -inflammatory drugs, are studied. You can reduce cortisol levels. Psychological therapy can also help with the built -in response to stress. And research shows that there is a decrease in the stress of everything in all sleep and quality social relationships, from more social relationships of sleep and quality to certain music, aromas and at least the short -term human touch. What it acts for one person is not for others, but one of the curiosity of stress is that it slides very much and provides a lot of admission points when a wide range of fronts of the impact on humans counterattack.
