Everyday Stress, General Health and the Immune System
Isn’t everyday stress something we all experience? Absolutely. In fact,
small amounts can be beneficial: it can inspire and motivate us, focus
our energy and improve performance. Then there is the other type
of everyday stress, the concerns or deadlines that that tire us out with
the so-called ‘fight-or-flight’ response. A remnant of evolution, this
response originally developed in humans and animals as a physical
defense mechanism to immediate and life-threatening danger.
In modern-day life this type of response to stress is no longer
appropriate. Nevertheless, when activated, the body reacts in the same
way: we feel a rush of energy, become fully alert and ready to act.
This is prompted by the activation of the HPA-axis: the hypothalamus,
the pituitary gland, and the adrenal glands. Its activation triggers
a cascade of events that results in the release of normal ‘stress
hormones‘ in the bloodstream (e.g. cortisol), which may then impact
normal healthy immune response (see Figure 1).1
‘Toning’ our adrenal glands, supporting the body’s normal stress
response, and helping the body maintain its normal immune function
can help us to adapt to the daily challenges of life and maintain
our general health and well-being.
