Stress
by Dr. Amy Vevoda, DC

Stress has been linked to anxiety disorders, depression, high blood pressure, and heart disease, certain gastrointestinal diseases, some cancers, and premature aging itself.
The medical community defines stress as a reaction to any internal or external stimuli that upsets normal functioning and disturbs mental or physical health. Stress illicits a response called Flight or Fight. This response is genetically hardwired into our brains to protect us from bodily harm. These days, though, the causes of stress are not things we can fight or run away from. The stress most of us know comes every time we hear another dire economic report, from the worry that we may lose our jobs, that we won't be able to pay our bills or provide for our families. For many of us, stress we can neither fight nor flee is all too familiar.

But we mustn't forget the internal, or physical component of stress. The feelings we identify as stress are not the product of external factors alone. Often internal conditions that affect the nervous system such as spinal misalignment manifest themselves as increased stress levels. Stress can be and often is the result of impaired functioning of the nervous system combined with external factors such as economic worries, job difficulties and tumultuous personal relationships.

The chiropractic method can not only reduce the physical component of stress, but it can help you better handle the sources of stress in your daily life by properly realigning the spine to restore proper functioning of the nervous system. The nervous system is the foundation of your bodily function, it is the riverbed in which the torrent of stress runs. When that riverbed is jumbled and rough, the stress cascades through your body like whitewater. But if the nervous system is well taken care of, the spine properly aligned, that riverbed is smooth and the water flows placidly.

We may not be able to fight or run away from the stresses in our daily lives, but with a healthy body we can learn better ways of adapting to it.

"Murph"
1 miles run
100 pull-ups
200 push-ups
300 squats
1 miles run

In memory of Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, N.Y., who was killed in Afghanistan June 28th, 2005.

This workout was one of Mike's favorites and he'd named it "Body Armor". From here on it will be referred to as "Murph" in honor of the focused warrior and great American who wanted nothing more in life than to serve this great country and the beautiful people who make it what it is.

Partition the pull-ups, push-ups, and squats as needed. Start and finish with a mile run. If you've got a twenty pound vest or body armor, wear it.
