Scientists demonstrate the connection between stress and cancer
Scientists insist stress related to cancer
Scientists analyzed various studies showing a clear link between stress and cancer, including breast cancer. Stress often manifests with moodiness, headache, limb pain and discouragement.
Scientists analyzed various studies showing a connection between stress and cancer, including breast cancer. New research reveals how they relate.
For many years, scientists suspected and maintained a connection between exposure to stressful experiences and the development of cancer. So far, various studies show conflicting results.
Scientists at the University of Maastricht, Netherlands, analyzed some works dealing stress episodes in the life of a person and the risk of breast cancer. Even the death of a relative or friend influences the genesis of some cancers.
Other studies have shown that severe stress, even if it happens a couple of days, weakens our immune system, making us more vulnerable to a host of health problems. Researchers suspect this is caused by a stress hormone called cortisol, which can affect our immune system cells and limit their ability to prevent disease.
Moreover, scientists at the University of Auckland, New Zealand, showed stress impedes wound healing. This is demonstrated by the fact that people who are very nervous about an operation, have more discomfort after and are more vulnerable to postoperative infections. Stress often manifests with moodiness, headache, limb pain and discouragement. It can lead to emotional imbalances like depression.
Stress makes you burn fewer calories and cortisol can actually reduce the body’s ability to release fat from its fat stores to use for energy. Instead, we become sugar burners and fat storers. Stress hormones cause increased body fat in the abdominal region, exactly where we don’t need or want it. Chronic stress can lead the body to ignore the function of insulin. Insulin resistance develops when the cells fail to respond to insulin’s message to take in glucose from the blood stream.
It is thought elevated blood sugar due to stress and diet contributes to the development of insulin resistance. When insulin fails to unlock our cells, the appetite is increased while the body’s ability to burn fat is decreased. This syndrome is part of the modern problem of rising rates of obesity and diabetes.
Stress inhibits the production and activity of natural killer cells, known as NK cells, as much as 50%. NK cells are responsible for identifying and destroying cancer and virus cells. Even more scary, chronic stress can accelerate the growth of cancer cells in the body as well as block the body’s ability to fight cancer. It promotes the synthesis of new blood cells in tumors and accelerates the growth of some tumors.
Enjoy life every day—with less worry
Stressed Out?
Stress has a funny way of sneaking up on you. Your body and mind can “act out” if worrisome events — financial, health, interpersonal, and the like become too prominent in your life. Try these 4 easy steps to manage stress…
- MOVE YOUR WORRY OUT: Exercise is an extremely powerful stress reducer. Physical activity works tension out of your muscles, and stimulates the creation of mood-boosting endorphins.
- DRINK GREEN TEA: Green tea contains abundant amounts of L-theanine, an amino acid known for its relaxing properties. Theanine increases alpha waves in the brain, which produce a state of calm alertness.
- SMILE: The very act of smiling registers in the hypothalamus of your brain, where endorphins are produced. When you smile you immediately feel better. So, the next time you’re feeling stressed, bring back a happy memory— put a smile on your face!GET ENOUGH SLEEP: We all do a better job of coping with worry after a sound night’s sleep. For better sleep, turn off the TV and your computer at least an hour before bedtime. Dimming the lights also helps by stimulating your body’s natural production of melatonin, the hormone that induces sleep. And a warm shower or bath can also help you drift off into relaxing slumber.
Sure-fire ways to help stay relaxed. Try at least two of these activities a day:
- Keep a journal: even a few sentences a day can make a difference.
- Exercise (including yoga)
- Listen to soothing music
- Meditate or sit quietly without distractions
- Laugh, laugh, and laugh some more!
Cortisol and stress: What you need to know
Cortisol is released in response to stress, which is how it got its moniker, the “stress hormone.” It is secreted into the bloodstream as part of the body’s “fight or flight” response to stress. In other words, cortisol increases when you need a quick burst of energy for survival reasons. Plus increased cortisol gives you heightened awareness and alertness and primes you for action.
While cortisol is an important part of the body’s response to stress, it’s important to counteract it with a relaxation response so the body’s functions can return to normal. But our modern culture, flooded with chronic high — stress situations on a daily basis, can make that difficult. From increased traffic and congestion to new technologies with multiple passwords to remember to the constant stimulation from electronic devices— it all adds up! https://integrativeoncology-

Psychological Stress and Health
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬๑۩۩๑▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
When someone is under chronic stress, it begins to negatively affect his or her physical and mental health. The body’s stress response was not made to be continuously engaged. Many people encounter stress from multiple sources, including work; money, health, and relationship worries; and media overload.With so many sources of stress, it is difficult to find time to relax and disengage.
People who experience chronic stress also have more white matter in some areas of the brain. The UC Berkeley study wanted to find out the underlying reason for this alteration in the brain composition. Stress is one of the most common problems of modern life. Stress is an emotional chemical response to stimuli around us, but the problem lies inside our heads. Stress is most often associated with lack of time or money, or by relationships at work, home, or with family. Achieving better emotional control helps some folks handle stress much better than others, but some situations are inherently more stressful than others.Ideally, the long-term solution to stress is to overhaul your attitude via personal development work.
But while you’re working on that, there are some strategies to help you cope in the short-term. If your stress originates from too little money, the logical answer is to get a better-paying job. Too little time: slow down, prioritize, be realistic, and focus. Multi-tasking is a crazy-making oxymoron. If your stress originates in your relationships, stop blaming other people; stop trying to control other people; and focus on your own life and its direction.
