Born on this earth as human beings is a boon given to us by the GOD, the Almighty. Some attribute it to the nature. But God is different from nature, as spirituality is different from science.
Spirituality begins where science ends. Defining God is very difficult thing and it is an impulse and should be felt by each individual. It is a personal experience and a matter of faith.
Keen observation is the gift given by God. See, how wonderfully our body manages the stress crisis, when it occurs in the body.
The mechanism of Stress management by human body:
Stress is the reaction of the body to a sudden event, usually unexpected.
1. The reaction results from an outpouring of ‘’Adrenaline’’ (a stimulus hormone), secreted by the ‘’Suprarenal glands ‘’, that are present one on each kidney, in to the blood stream. Adrenaline along with other stress hormones (like nor- adrenaline, etc), produces number of changes in the body, intended to be protective.
It is often called ‘’ the fight –or- flight response’’ of the body to that situation (dangerous sometimes), as the hormone provides the necessary strength and energy to either fight or run away from that danger.
2. Blood Pressure: It is increased, so that more blood goes to the muscles, heart and brain, because these organs that are most important in dealing with the danger.
3. Lungs: There is increased respiration rate, that is faster breathing (to take in more oxygen), as oxygen acts like fire to create more energy, for quick movement of the organs.
4. Tensing of the muscles: occurs which is preparation for ready action.
5. There is increased mental alertness and sensitivity of sense organs- to asses the situation and to act quickly.
6. The blood supply to the skin, digestive tract, kidneys and liver is decreased, as these organs role during the stress is negligible, thus blood is saved and more blood is diverted to the vital organs, such as heart and brain etc.
7. In addition, there is an increase in blood sugar, fats and cholesterol level in the blood, for extra energy to the vital organs.
8. A rise in platelets and blood clotting factors is also there which helps to prevent hemorrhage in case of injury and thus saving the blood loss.
9. Thus automatically the body becomes alert and saves him by all means, as per the above mechanism adopted by it.
That’s why human body is a wonderful creation by God.
