Cause of Osteopenia StressAnother Cause of Osteopenia Stress has become more and more common in our multi-tasking, face paced world. Unless you live in a quiet rural setting, you are bombarded each day with colors, lights, sounds and movement. In addition you may find yourself feeling under pressure of deadlines or you live with a hundred daily conflicts: Should I finish this job now or answer the phone? How can I get home in time when stuck in traffic? Why doesn't the light change....that driver stop tailgating...the program load faster....my email go where I want.... So what is the mechanism of the Cause of Osteopenia Stress? When you feel stressed, your body increase the production of Cortisol. Now Cortisol is produced in the adrenal glands and it has some important functions:
The problem occurs when you produce Cortisol too often or in too much quantity. Cortisol, in excessive amounts, causes a loss of bone density. (It also causes a lot of other things such as: hypertension, lowered immunity, loss of muscle mass, blood sugar imbalances, problems with memory and cognitive functioning (Sometimes labeled 'boomer cognitive decline' since this is a cognitive problem experienced by many 40 - 60 year olds who live or work in high stress situations), It is a well known fact that Cushings Disease, which is characterized by the adrenal glads producing too much cortisol, causes Osteopenia. Well, chronic or excessive stress does the same thing. It produces too much cortisol. How can you deal with Cause of Osteopenia Stress?There are a number of ways to reduce your stress.
One additional means of addressing it is through holographic sound. Back in the 1960's I became aware of workdone by a researcher in the United States. He found that by using stereophonic earphones and playing differentsounds with special rhythms and tones into each ear, the brain of the listener could be entrained and brought from Beta (high activity/stress) to Alpha (the relaxation response) and even to Theta (an even slower wave length usually attained only in deep meditation). Since stereo earphones had come on the market, he put the sounds on tape. At the time I bought some of the audio tapes and used them regularly in my brand new Walkman. Some years later, I moved and I lost track of the tapes. But a month ago, I discovered that you can now download holgraphic sound to your computer! I listened to the sounds.And found myself in a state of relaxation and calmness of mind. A mini break for stress reduction! Of course you do need stereo headphones for it work as it should. And I suppose you could burn a CD or put it on an ipod. But for me that is a bit more 'tech' than I can manage. The program on the computer is just fine. If you want a way to reduce your stress in just a few minutes of listening, do take a look at:Holographic Relaxation If not this, then do something to reduce thE Cause of Osteopenia Stress!.
