Whether the stress is physical or emotional, it stimulates the adrenal hormones that cause bone depletion and much calcium can be lost in the urine. Stress may also reduce the amount of calcium absorbed by the intestines and maintained in your skeleton. It can also increase cholesterol in the bloodstream, acid in the stomach, and depress your immune system so your body’s resistance to viruses and infections is lowered. But studies have not yet revealed why, in similar situations, some people seem almost stress-proof and others are highly vulnerable.
Nobody lives in a stress-free world. We all have stress -anxiety, grief, boredom. But to rid our lives of all problems would be the biggest problem of all. Normal stress is good, helping us to cope with life, with sudden emergencies, and to adapt to change. But excess stress can be distress.
Don’t rush to take a pill: try different ways to manage your emotions:
Try to relax – listen to music – read a good book. Try recreation with friends – take regular holidays. Try expressing your emotions – talk to someone to share
Try some form of relaxing exercise – go for a walk.
Or accept the situation that is creating the stress. If you realize
you’ve been pushing yourself too hard, ease off the pressure.
