Certain physical ailments are influenced by mental factors – which indicates the "body-mind" connection. Continuous stress induces the body to pump increasing amounts of hormones into the blood stream. These hormones, Dr Herbert Benson writes, produce tension headaches and anxiety attacks - important symptoms of which are nausea, vomiting, short temper, insomnia and many phobias. These chemical messengers (hormones) can inhibit immune action also. It is now well established that the body-mind interactions influence migraine head aches, ulcers, high blood pressure and back pain, etc. When people are in a pressure cooker for a long time, they eat badly, sleep badly, exercise badly, work badly and even think badly.
The next thought is about “Stress has become unavoidable”
