Learn about the symptoms of stress\, how stress affects the body’s overall health\, and what a person can do to relieve stress both at work and at home to feel better and enjoy life more. \nWhen:  7:00 pm – 8:00 pm\nWhere:  Studio Around The Corner\, 67 Main St\, Suite 101\, Brewster\, NY\nCost:  FREE! \nBy Dr. Mercola \nStress often starts in your head with a worry or a fear\, but those feelings of anxiety\, and perhaps even panic\, don’t stay there. When you feel stressed\, your body ramps up production of the stress hormones cortisol\, adrenaline\, and norepinephrine. \nThis triggers the start of the stress response\, and\, like a snowball rolling down a mountain\, it gains traction and speed until you’re ready for the proverbial attack. \nAdrenaline\, for instance\, increases your heart rate\, causing your heart to beat faster and ultimately raising blood pressure. Cortisol can interfere with the function of the inner lining of your blood vessels\, triggering plaque buildup in your arteries\, and increasing your risk of heart disease and stroke. \nMeanwhile\, you brain communicates with your gut\, sending the news that you’re stressed\, and your gut responds in suit\, altering what it would normally be doing so your body can collectively work to fight off this imminent stressor (whether it’s really an imminent stressor or not). \nThis stress response can be quite beneficial if you need to run from a predator\, or even quickly cram for a big exam. Things get messy\, however\, when you feel stressed all or most of the time. \nWhile an occasional stress response is normal and even healthy\, ongoing\, constant stress is not. On the contrary\, it’s the recipe for sickness\, from chronic diseases to acute infections…. \n  URL:https://inm.center/event/health-stress-an-integrative-natural-medicine-approach-for-a-happier-and-healthier-life/ LOCATION:Studio Around The Corner\, Suite 101\, 67 Main Street\, Brewster\, NY\, NY\, United States CATEGORIES:Events Around CT,Health ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://inm.center/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Fatigue-Fotolia_63876922_XS-2.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20161026T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20161026T203000 DTSTAMP:20260416T124918 CREATED:20161011T130925Z LAST-MODIFIED:20161011T130925Z UID:2096-1477508400-1477513800@inm.center SUMMARY:Tao Yin\, Breathing and Reducing Stress DESCRIPTION:As we approach the holidays\, learn how to use Tao Yin\, breathing and stress reduction techniques to keep yourself balanced!
