Hello there, it�s angela rocchio founder of healyouradrenalfatigue.com and you�re
watching adrenal fatigue In this video I am going to share with you
5 strategies to improve adrenal health and manage stress
naturally.
These 5 strategies all have to do with a powerful hormone that lowers cortisol, the stress
hormone and balances the body after the stress response.
So stay tuned As you probably know by now, adrenal fatigue
and stress go hand-in-hand.
The very root cause of adrenal fatigue is stress.
When we encounter stress whether it�s physical, mental or emotional, the same chemical reaction
occurs.
It looks something like this.
First, our adrenals release and shower our bodies with hormones like cortisol and adrenaline.
In response, our heart beats faster and harder, our blood pressure
rises, our breath becomes shallow and weak and our blood rushes away
from major organs (ie: organs of the digestive tract) and into our muscles so we can fight
or flea from the stress, appropriately.
There are so many situations in our external world that have the potential to be stressful.
Whether you have experienced a traumatic event in your life, you lead a high-stress
lifestyle, have a habit of overcommitting, or choose to burn the candle at
both ends, without self-care and proper rest and relaxation, your adrenals will become
depleted and your health will suffer?
So the question is, how do we change this or how to we move on.
We often feel we have no control over the things happening
around us.
Whether you believe that to be true or not, you can probably agree that we do have control
over the way we react to it.
The truth is if we do not learn how to cope better with stress and take life down a notch,
(even just mentally) we will never truly recover from adrenal fatigue and
our health will continue to suffer.
And to further prove my point of the power of stress over our health, new research reveals
that 80% of all diseases may actually be stress related.
But, it�s not all bad news.
The good news is there are ways to teach your body and mind to cope better with stress.
And there is science behind this.
There is a powerful hormone that is able to lower cortisol (the stress hormone) and balance
the body after the stress response.
This hormone is called Oxytocin.
Oxytocin is often called the stress �off-switch� or the �love� hormone.
In order to produce oxytocin, we need to engage in certain activities
that trigger a relaxation response both in the brain and in the body.
During the relaxation response our mind clears, our
muscles relax, and our heart rate and blood pressure lower.
Oxytocin is mainly released in three ways; during an orgasm and for women during labor
and when breastfeeding.
You might be thinking, that�s it?
Thankfully, we there are Here are several ways we can trick the body into releasing
oxytocin.
Here are 5 strategies that release oxytocin and heals the body from stress:
1.
LAUGHTER Did you know there is science behind the saying,
�Laughter is the best medicine?� When we laugh, our bodies produce
Oxycotin.
Laughter is also known to help boost your energy, your immune system and even reduce
pain.
This can be genuine or fake laughter, the brain doesn�t know the difference.
* So either spend a few minutes laughing by listening to your favorite comedian during
your commute to work or while exercising
* Surround yourself with people who make you laugh
* Or just start laughing 2.
HUG SOMEONE * Embrace someone, it�s best when you hug
someone you love * Enjoy that hug and stay a little longer
than normal and feel the effects * If you don�t have the opportunity to hug
someone you love than imagine you are hugging someone you love or that
you are being hugged by someone you love * Cuddling has the same effect
3.
TAKE A WALK * It doesn�t have to be long, even 10 minutes
is beneficial * Walking outside, is recommended and is statistically
correlated with higher levels of oxytocin * If your day is full of meetings, perhaps
you can suggest a walking meeting with a co-worker, you might be
surprised that when walking and talking business you can experience more inspirations, creativity
and ah-ha moments!
4.
DO SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR YOURSELF DAILY * We often over extend ourselves by trying
to do and be everything.
Especially as women we learn to do this at an
early age and then it becomes a habit that is hard to break.
This busyness just becomes are new normal.
As a result, we end up deleted ourselves and our adrenals.
* Make a commitment to do something special for yourself every single day.
For example, take a bath, walk in nature, book a massage, go to a movie by yourself,
plan a date with a friend or treat yourself to a special treat
5.
BREATHE DEEP * When our bodies are stressed we breathe
shallowly and fast.
* Breathing deep is one of the best ways to lower stress in the body.
This is because when you breathe deeply it sends
a message to your brain to calm down and relax.
The brain then sends this message to your body which slows down
your heart rate and decreases your blood pressure * Ideally sit comfortably, close your eyes,
set a timer for 2-3 minutes and just allow yourself to inhale and exhale,
each for the count of 5 seconds.
Try not to judge yourself for being distracted when distractions come up.
Our brains are just doing their job.
When distracted bring yourself back to the breath.
And just keeping doing that over time it gets easier.
But know that we all struggle with it, even those that have been practicing meditation
for years.
Well there you go.
