Much like sugar suppresses the immune system our bodies come equipped with special glands resting on top of the kidneys, that’s called the adrenals. When we are faced with stress, real or perceived they produce two powerful chemicals of note – adrenaline & cortisol which move through the blood stream and cause those reactions that excite a response into action. https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=navclient&ie=stress+hormone+and+cancer+video
Have you ever walked down a dark hallway and someone scared the living daylight out of you. Can you recall that excited feeling of your heart pounding with accelerated breathing as you were ready to race away in response. Which is a natural response to adrenaline, cortisol and another stress hormone called “norepinephrine that will cause a stress response in less than a second.”
It’s this response that triggers an increase in blood pressure, heart rate respiration, tensing of the muscles and increased blood clotting and it’s this chronic stress that can rob you of vital energy. While it is research by Dr. Paul Rosch, president of the American Institute of Stress claims 75 to 90 percent of all visits to primary care physicians result from stress related disorder. https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8#q=dr.+paul+rosch+stress
During stress it’s our bodies want to conserve energy in order to better flee the fight. Stress hormones not only release fats, sugar and insulin into the bloodstream. So we have the energy to flee or fight, but also, store fat and tell the body to eat more and stressful events. While making matters worse, cortisol directs the body to store fat in the belly ~ close to the heart.
To much cortisol has also been shown to inhibit the growth of new cells in the part of the brain that controls fear, heightened emotions and forms new memories. Therefore, when your overly stressed you become easily fearful and forgetful. When stress becomes chronic it’s this feedback loop that’s supposed to make the brain tell the adrenals to stop pumping out cortisol. While becoming faulty and just keeps pumping away…. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3R9mD-iJZIg
Acclaimed author and researcher Dr. Ernest Rossi having taught therapists for decades about how our brains change with each activity performed. Believes just as negativity, worry and fear, can cause our bodies to produce stress chemicals and eventually disease.

Psychologist find elevated levels of C – Reactive Protein in people who “can’t” and “won’t” let go of negative energy while rethinking new feelings. Therefore, try to recall when you think negative thoughts versus positive emotions and how much differently your body also felt. Renowned psychologist Martin Seligman at the National Cancer Institute is one of originators of the concept of “learned helplessness” how+the+body+reacts+to+negative+emotion+dr+ernest+rossi
With his focus and writings, Seligman found that cancer patients with optimism, a sense of humor and with enthusiasm has a significantly greater survival rate than those less positive about their outcome. Humor is essential for mitigating stress as shown by Dr. Norman Cousins. Studies have shown laughing increases heart rate, stimulates the cardiovascular, circulatory, immune and the endocrine systems, while reducing pain and hormonal stress levels. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqLAcpXzNks
General George S. Patton thought, You measure a man’s success by not how high they climb, but by high they bounce (back) when they hit the rock bottom of times.
If you find yourself ruminating on a past mistake that’s wrecking your life — you can not move forward — forward movement propels positive energy. Positive energy helps you get out and exercise more freely while breathing deeper, reducing depression, anxiety, stress, high blood pressure, diabetes, inflammation, heart problems while making you less likely to have sleep deprivation and the effects that has on your mind and body. metacafe.com/watch/science_of_sleep_part_1_season_40_episode_38
Thereby, when you gain proper oxygen, both sides of your brain can work together to perform many functions more efficiently. The left side is associated with logical and analytical thinking, as well as the ability to be more objective. The right side of the brain is associated with intuition, creativity and the tendency to be more subjective. Therefore, any one that practices Yoga masters an awareness of their breathe through the exercise called pranayama. search query = pranayama breathing techniques
Pranayama techniques help you control, lengthen and strengthen your inhalation, exhalation, and breath retention. “Prana” means “Life Force” and the definition of “prananyama.” is control and expansion of energy. Many studies have been shown that yoga breathing controls heart rhythm, lowers stress hormone and hypertension levels and decrease psychological disorders.
Also unless you are exercising or faced with an emergency, try breathing through your nostrils as much as possible. Mouth breathing gives us too large a quantity of air which can lead to hyperventilation and an overload of carbon dioxide. Which causes blood vessels to constrict and starves our cells of oxygen, while the hairs in the nostrils traps allergens, pollutants and dust to protect our lungs.
Nose breathing also humidifies air and orchestrates the proper balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in our blood stream. While deep breathing encourages the parasympathetic nervous system to move you into a mellow mood and soothes the mind and body from any anxiety and depression (a.k.a. what you feel like after exercise.)
Hypoxia is defined as a decrease in available oxygen reaching the cells and tissues of the body. Being linked to the pathology of cancer and it has been found tumors grow more rapidly in a low – oxygen environment. Moderate exercise is always advisable and beneficial to preserving good health and one should always take time away from their busy schedule & Direct Tv to get 20 minutes everyday. https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=navclient&ie=hypoxia+and+cancer+progression+video
