STRESS

a

True Facts!

- Stress is the body's response to any physical, mental and emotional change

- 80% of all illnesses are stress-related

- It has been estimated that companies save an average of Sek 69.00 for every Sek 14.00 spend on stress management / resilience therapies!

a

For companies, an estimated 29 million working days are usually lost through self-reported work-related illnesses per year. Stress-related disorders like depression and anxiety and musculoskeletal disorders accounted for the majority of these working days lost, with a combined total of Sek 335 million.

Here's a list of some physiological, psychological, emotional & behaviour responses to stress:

  • a state of muscular tension
  • high blood pressure
  • digestive, skin, sleep, and reproductive problems and conditions
  • growth inhibition
  • a reduction in our resistance to infection and disease (low immunity)
  • a state of fatigue and possible result in CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) or ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis)
  • asthma
  • a lack of appetite or cravings, over-eating
  • a lack of focus and concentration
  • a burn-up of unncessary valuable energy
  • depression, moodiness, aggression, crying
  • phobias
Stress can destroy relationships long before contributing to serious illnesses like cancer or heart disease.

Since the causes of stress are here to stay, the good news is that we can choose to help ourselves to deal with the effects of stress through stress resilience, natural therapies like Reflexology/Zonterapi, in conjuction with a healthy lifestyle, and the "right" workplace environment via the implementation of stress management policies.

These therapies can be a natural option to offsetting the effects of stress on overall health.  Reflexology/Zonterapi endeavours to treat the body, mind and spirit as a cohesive system by getting to the cause of stress and not its symptoms.
