Stress: "Fight or Flee"

Hello! In this day I talk about stress, this is an internal state or condition that creates an imbalance the individual psychological for results internal environmental factors, organization where you work or the people around you.
Feelings of stress are caused by the body's instinct to defend it self. This instinct is good in emergencies. Any sort of change can make you feel stressed, even good change. It's not just the change or event itself, but also how you react to it that matters. What's stressful is different for each person. But stress can cause unhealthy physical symptoms if it goes on for too long, such as in response to life's daily challenges and changes. This can make you feel anxious, afraid, worried and uptight. Other symptoms are: Irritability, hair falls, bruxism, tachicardia, fatigue, irregular sleep, irritable colon,
back pain, headaches, High blood pressure, Problems with relationships and others.
The stress it affects principally
: workers, schoolchildren and university students, school teachers, bus drivers, secretaries, businessmen, and all those people who have to meet short-term goals.
The first step is to learn to recognize when you're feeling stressed. Early warning signs of stress include tension in your shoulders and neck.
The next step is to choose a way to deal with your stress. One way is to avoid the event or thing that leads to your stress--but often this is not possible. A second way is to change how you react to stress. This is often the more practical way.
According to the principle of "fight or flee" and I chose fight against stress, and you?

Healthy Lifestyle


Hello everybody, in this occasion I talk about healthy lifestyle. Personally I think that depends on each, the desire we have to live a healthy lifestyle and health awareness that we have in our mind. That's why I'm sure it's possible to have a healthy life in these times, I believe that now gives more than before by the consciousness that we have today.To have a healthy life, it is necessary to take care of the physical and mental health through healthy eating and physical activity. Food should be: low in fat, carbohydrates, vegetables and fruit, lean meats, lots of fluids, a little salt and sugar. And physical exercise to take effect must be at least three times a week.

I try to live a healthy life, exercising at least three times a week, I go twice a week in yoga and when I can go to the gym in the week. On the other hand try to eat as healthy as possible when I can.
I believe that to have a healthy life, does not affect where I go on holiday and the clothes I wear.
If I had to choose a holiday "healthy", I probably would go for a walk Excursion to “Torres del Paine”, with clothing and equipment suitable for the climate that there is.
The truth is that I would love a healthy life, as described above, but many times the force of will not allow it, but I have always in mind that one's health is the key to a healthy and happy life.
