1, decompression method
Decompression by explosion
This method is suggested by some websites in the United States that provide troubleshooting services for male white-collar workers. Carry a small rubber ball or tennis ball with you. When you feel too stressed and need to vent, squeeze the ball hard.
You will feel much better after the ball explodes. Although this method is a bit strange, it is much more elegant than knocking on the table hysterically and shouting.
(2) exercise to calm down.
This is a new industry in Britain, the sports center. Here, professionals will tell you how to shout, hit the sofa with a big pillow, or do some "decompression exercises" with a lot of exercise to help you release your anger and resentment.
(3) watching horror movies to decompress
Some psychologists in Britain say that people feel stressed mainly because of their sense of responsibility for their work. At this time, what they need is encouragement. They should not overcome stress through some simple skills, but should do something challenging to stimulate their nerves. Watching horror movies is a good way to stimulate their nerves and can achieve the miraculous effect of "fighting poison with poison".
(4) decompression of essential oil
This method, also known as aromatherapy, is very popular among women in Europe and Japan. Essential oil can stimulate and calm nerve cells in the limbic system of the brain through olfactory nerve, which has the functions of calming nerves and relieving stress.
(5) Tips
Proper stress is a catalyst, which can urge you to find a way to achieve your goal as soon as possible. Too much pressure will become a stumbling block to your success, so when you find yourself under too much pressure, you must find some suitable ways to release it so as not to be overwhelmed.
2, the harm of high pressure
1. My jaw hurts.
Stress-induced jaw or tooth closure can lead to jaw pain and permanent joint injury, and lead to gingival recession. It can also cause tooth wear and fracture. Most people with these problems need oral protectors.
headache
AmandaGuthrie, a Canadian naturopath, said: "Tension headache is one of the most common manifestations of stress." When the body is under pressure, the muscles in the upper back and neck will be tense, which will lead to the tightening of scalp muscles, which will lead to headaches. Anxiety can also lead to severe migraine. You can change your sitting posture (especially at the dinner table) to relieve your headache, or through massage and hyperthermia.
3. Mental problems
Stress can make people feel angry and even disappointed. Guthrie said, "When things bring us pressure, we always feel that we can't solve it. Then I can't make a decision and have anxiety. " You can relax by doing yoga or walking.
4. Weight fluctuation
Stress will change your diet, so it will lead to weight change. According to researchers at the University of Warwick School of Medicine, although stress can make people lose their diet, long-term stress usually leads to obesity. Because stress will reduce the body's metabolism and make it easier for the body to store fat. A study found that bulimia is usually related to stress, especially among women. Excessive stress will change the glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity in the body, change the diet pattern, and enhance the desire to eat dessert.
5. Chest pain and hypertension
"Stress hormones will increase the blood supply function of the heart, cause arterial contraction, affect blood flow and increase arterial pressure." If chest pain and blood pressure soar, you should have a careful examination.
lose hair
Stress can lead to hair loss. Hormonal changes force hair follicles to stop and tissues grow again. In severe cases, stress can lead to baldness. In this case, the body's immune system will affect hair follicles, leading to hair loss. For people born with less hair, stress will accelerate hair loss. Serious hair loss needs to see a doctor.
Reduce desire
A study in the Journal of the International Society for the Influence of Sports pointed out that stress can reduce testosterone and other hormones related to health desire. Stress also reduces blood flow to the pelvis. Guthrie
Say, "If you are under too much pressure, pregnancy is not a good choice." Yoga or daily meditation can help relieve stress.
8. Sweating hands and feet
When we are stressed, blood will flow to our hands and feet. Sometimes it is accompanied by sweating, which is produced by the cooling mechanism of the body. If you sweat too much, you need to see a doctor to make sure it is hyperhidrosis.
9. Stomach trouble
Stress can lead to irritable bowel syndrome and gastrointestinal problems. Guthrie said, "When we are stressed, the brain sends out signals to release adrenaline and other stress hormones." These hormones change the direction of blood flow from gastrointestinal tract to legs, arms and heart, inhibit digestion, cause abdominal discomfort or change the regularity of defecation. If we are under too much pressure, the digestive function will be affected first, which will lead to gastrointestinal problems, such as irritable bowel syndrome. Guthrie pointed out that "abdominal breathing helps to reduce stress and help the body digest food better."
10. insomnia
Feeling anxious usually leads to overactive thinking, which leads to poor sleep at night. Dr Mel Bolings, a family doctor in Toronto, said: "When the pressure is too great, even when it is time to rest, the brain keeps working." There are various manifestations of sleep disorders: some people are tired all day, some people can't sleep, some people get up early, and some people wake up at night and find it difficult to fall asleep again. If you have short-term sleep disorder, you can try hypnotics, but if you have long-term problems, you'd better see a doctor.
1 1. Cold
Long-term stress will make people more likely to get sick, and stress will affect people's immune system. However, the study of American Psychological Association found that getting along with good friends can help to reduce the influence of stress, improve health, and then enhance the human immune system.
12. Damage to sperm.
Stress has many disadvantages to health. Recently, a new study published by Huffington Post found that stress has a serious negative impact on male sperm quality.
Dr Pam Facht Litvac, associate professor of epidemiology at Melman School of Health, Columbia University, and his colleagues studied 193 male participants aged between 38 and 49. The researchers extracted semen samples from these men and investigated the participants' "objective stress" and "subjective stress". "Objective stress" includes all kinds of life events that will lead to a sharp increase in stress. "Subjective stress" includes participants' personal feelings. The researchers also assessed the life stress and work stress of the participants. The results show that there is an obvious correlation between stress and sperm quality.
