Stress Affects your Health

Have you ever experienced a traumatic event? If you have you are not alone. A recent survey of Americans found that 9 out of every 10 people have experienced at least one traumatic event in their life. If you have experienced a traumatic event, the experience could have affected your health and well-being as stress impacts your brain in a very specific way.

90% of Americans have experienced a least one traumatic event in their life

Sympathetic Nervous System

Your brain would have activated your sympathetic nervous system that releases hormones that flood your brain and body with adrenalin and cortisol. The brain’s alarm system – the emotional limbic part of your brain – is responsible for this and it also turns off your logical rational thinking part of your brain – the prefrontal cortex.

Stress Relief

If you suspect your current health concerns could be due traumatic events from your past, seek help from trained health care providers, exercise regularly, do yoga and mindfulness meditation and regularly go see your family chiropractor so you can relax easier, feel better, be more resilient and function at your best!
