[Immune power up information] The power of the heart changes medicine ⑥
[Immune power up information] We will introduce excerpts from past musubi magazines and books published by Seishoku Publishing. In the 27th installment, we will introduce an article from the December 12 issue of "Musubi Magazine" about how the power of the heart changes medicine. (XNUMX times in total). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stress reaction caused by tension If you do not return to the original state, you will become depressed According to Mr. Takebayashi, we "constantly go back and forth" between the "stress reaction" when the sympathetic nerve is working and the "relaxation reaction" when the parasympathetic nerve is working. In this way, energy is consumed, recharged and regenerated repeatedly, and activities are continued. It's easier to get sick. For example, the above figure is a graph of various test values shown in the lecture, and you can clearly see how it reacts to stress. Starting from a resting state and moving to the right as time passes, the change when a stress load is applied appears, and it returns to a resting state again.At the time of "stress load" in the middle, it seems that I was asked to do mental arithmetic for only two minutes. Then, when you are stressed by mental arithmetic, your heart rate suddenly jumps from the XNUMXs to the XNUMXs, your breathing is disturbed, your hands are sweaty, and excessive muscle tension is brought about. "When you're stressed, the blood vessels on the surface constrict, so the blood volume drops sharply, making your hands cold. When it's over, the blood vessels open and blood flow recovers, keeping your hands warm. If your hands are cold." is, in some way, the body's stress response." Even if we are not consciously aware of these, our nerves act on their own and cause reactions. However, the body still feels stressed and falls into a state where it cannot return to its original state. "If you keep draining your energy all the time, you'll run out of battery, and you'll end up in a so-called depressed state."
A sigh is a sign that you're nervous Savor your meal slowly Don't you sometimes sigh while operating a computer or smartphone?In fact, even at such times, the tension increases, the breathing stops, becomes shallow and rapid, the brain is in an oxygen starvation state, and it gradually becomes painful, and the body forces you to breathe, which becomes a big sigh. It is. “Humans are animals that have always lived by moving their bodies. It is very stressful for animals to stay still in the same posture for a long time. When that happens, you naturally lose your balance.Recognizing this and returning to a lifestyle of physical activity is the first step towards good health.” As a countermeasure, Mr. Takebayashi says, "How can you frequently reset the stress that keeps building up from the time you wake up until you go to bed?" If you try to "reset the tiredness and stress in the morning during the lunch break and the stress in the afternoon in the afternoon", most of the stress will be gone by the time you go to bed.And the energy is regenerated during sleep, where the parasympathetic nerves mainly work. Each person has their own way of resetting and relaxing, but Mr. Takebayashi insists on valuing meal times. “By slowly savoring your meal, your saliva will flow out and your parasympathetic nerves will be activated. It fits."
"Here and now" rather than the past and future Substances in the brain made up of nutrients What Mr. Takebayashi emphasized about the next "thinking" is to focus on "here and now." “Everyone has two selves in his or her heart: the anxious self and the calm self. No matter what I do, I'm not 'here and now'.On the other hand, my calm self can see the reality of what is happening to me now." In the brain, the part called the amygdala reacts when you're anxious, and the prefrontal cortex works when you're calm. "Mindfulness", which is spreading to the extent that it is said to be the third generation cognitive behavioral therapy, seems to be given to patients as a health method even in hospitals in the United States.It is attracting attention as a daily meditation method that can be done while eating, walking, or folding laundry. As for the last “nutrition”, in addition to the advice that hypoglycemia can be suppressed by reviewing the diet, brain transmitters (brain hormones) such as serotonin and dopamine are “amino acids, vitamin D group, iron, Various nutrients such as niacin are entwined, so it is natural that it will become unstable if these are lacking."
