The current stress level experienced by Americans is 20% higher than the global average.1 While there is no magic pill to reduce or eliminate stress, there are several ways we can learn to manage the stress in our lives.
Chronic stress can:
• Increase your risk for a variety of physical health problems including digestive issues, headaches, muscle tension, heart disease, heart attack, high blood pressure, stroke, and weight gain.
• Increase your risk for a variety of mental health problems including anxiety, depression, sleep problems, memory and concentration impairment.
• Cause a disease either due to changes in your body or behaviors such as smoking, consuming alcohol, or any other poor habit that people use to cope with stress.
• Suppress the body’s immune system, making it more difficult to recover from illnesses.
Dr. Hans Selye broke the stress response into three stages, which he called the General Adaptation Syndrome:3
1 Alarm Stage – also known as “fight or flight”, this stage occurs when you are frightened or under threat. Your heart rate speeds up and the body releases stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol. If prolonged it can take a toll on your body.
2 Resistance Stage – occurs after the initial extreme reaction. Your body tries to adapt to the continued stress. If the stress passes, you can start to rebuild your defenses. If it becomes long-term, you move to the third stage.
3 Exhaustion Stage – is the “burnout” or overload phase. Continued pounding by stress depletes your body’s reserves, which puts you at risk for disease. Facing multiple long- term stressors piles extra strain on your system and may quickly lead to exhaustion.
Whether we see the glass as half empty or half full is an indication of how we perceive things in life. Research suggests negative thinking not only affects health, but also our stress level. Individuals with an optimistic attitude:4
• May be better able to cope with stress
• Have a better immune system
• Are less likely to get depressed
• Catch few infectious diseases
• Have better health habits
• Often live a longer, healthier life5
El nivel actual de estrés experimentado por los estadounidenses es un 20% más alto que el promedio global. Aunque no existe una píldora mágica para reducir o eliminar el estrés, hay varias maneras de aprender a controlar el estrés en nuestras vidas. 1
El estrés crónico puede:
• Aumentar el riesgo de sufrir diversos problemas de salud física, como problemas digestivos, dolores de cabeza, tensión muscular, enfermedad cardíaca, ataque cardíaco, presión arterial alta, derrame cerebral y aumento de peso.
• Aumentar el riesgo de sufrir diversos problemas de salud mental, como ansiedad, depresión, problemas para dormir, y trastornos de la memoria y la concentración.
• Causar una enfermedad, ya sea debido a cambios en su cuerpo o a comportamientos como fumar, consumir alcohol o cualquier otro mal hábito que la gente tiene para afrontar el estrés.
• Suprimir el sistema inmunitario del cuerpo, lo que hace más difícil recuperarse de las enfermedades.
El Dr. Hans Selye dividió la respuesta al estrés en tres etapas, que denominó Síndrome General de Adaptación:3
1 Etapa de Alarma – también conocida como “lucha o huida”, esta etapa se produce cuando uno se siente asustado o amenazado. La frecuencia cardíaca se acelera y el cuerpo libera hormonas del estrés como adrenalina y cortisol. Si se prolonga, puede pasarle factura al cuerpo.
2 Etapa de Resistencia – se produce después de la reacción inicial extrema. El cuerpo trata de adaptarse al estrés continuo. Si el estrés pasa, usted puede empezar a reconstruir sus defensas. Si se torna prolongado, pasa a la tercera etapa.
3 Etapa de Agotamiento – es la fase de “desgaste” o sobrecarga. El azote continuo del estrés destruye las reservas del cuerpo, lo que aumenta el riesgo de enfermedad. Enfrentarse a muchas situaciones de estrés a largo plazo aumenta la presión sobre su sistema y puede conducir rápidamente al agotamiento.
Ver el vaso medio lleno o medio vacío indica cómo percibimos las cosas en la vida. Las investigaciones sugieren que el pensamiento negativo no solo afecta la salud, sino también nuestro nivel de estrés. Las personas que tienen una actitud optimista:4
• Pueden afrontar mejor el estrés
• Tienen un mejor sistema inmunitario
• Tienen menos probabilidades de deprimirse
• Contraen menos enfermedades infecciosas
• Tienen mejores hábitos de salud
• A menudo viven una vida más larga y saludable5
