Stress is a normal manifestation which occurs in response to either a dangerous or worrying situation in the future, in the short or medium term.

• The person is particularly sensitive to stressors.
• The stressor persists over time and the person is unable to change or prevent it. It may be money problems, coping with a troubled family member, a challenging work relationship …
• The person is subjected to several stressors at the same time.

Chronic stress is toxic: it sucks the pleasure out of life and is a contributory factor in numerous illnesses. It leads to acute and intermittent stress attacks which sometimes mask the chronic nature of the problem.

There are three types of symptom related to chronic stress: physical, mental and behavioural:

A number of physiological mechanisms are involved in chronic stress and they play a role in countless disorders. The main ones include:

• Accelerated ageing caused by increased free radical damage.
• Nutritional deficiencies as a result of a decrease in nutrient absorption and an increase in the rate of their metabolism.
• Reduced immunity caused by high cortisol production.
• Disturbed mental state due to profound structural changes in the brain.

There are several natural ways of combatting stress and breaking its vicious circle:

• Keep in touch with your loved ones, friends and family members.
• Eat a good quality diet with plenty of antioxidants (fresh fruits and vegetables), essential fatty acids (preferably omega-3), and minerals, and avoid ready-meals and processed foods which usually contain ingredients likely to aggravate stress. Poor diet is a factor in reducing your body’s ability to adapt well to stressors.
• Take advantage of traditional ‘adaptogen’ plants, which enable the body to manage stress better. These include Eleutherococcus (Eleutherococcus senticosus) which helps protect the body against external stressors (2) and Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) (3).
• Learn how to trigger the relaxation response (which engages the parasympathetic nervous system) using techniques such as abdominal (or diaphragmatic) breathing, exercise, massage, meditation, creative pursuits (such as dancing, painting, drawing, DIY, gardening …).
