In a busy world and lifestyle we are undergoing every day, time to give ourselves some relaxation and managing our stress can sometimes be left to our lesser priority lists. But, we need to reevaluate the symptoms of stress may it be physical, emotion or psychological.
Our body shows some signals and alerts us if we are feeling stress. In order to keep ourselves alert and do good to our overall health and benefit on them as well, here are a few lists of body clues on stress.
Suggestive actions to take in order to treat the symptoms of stress:
Skin Problems like itchy or dry skin: Our skin is the largest and most visible organ in the body so it tends to register stress fairly quickly. Itch problem can cause stress, and the feeling of anxiousness or tension brought by this skin problem can aggravate underlying conditions like dermatitis, eczema or psoriasis. If you are prone to breakouts, stress increases the inflammation that can lead to acne.
Remedy: Keep skin clean and moisturized, drink lots of water -- breathe.
Sore or Achy mouth: An achy jaw can be a sign of teeth grinding that usually occurs at sleep brought on by stress. There were several observations of an increase of "bruxism" or teeth grinding cause anxiety during the economic downturn.
Remedy: Ask your dentist about a nighttime mouth guard -- up to 70 percent of people who use one reduce or stop teeth grinding, according to the American Dental Association.
Worse Allergies: In a 2008 study, it was known that even slight stress and anxiety can worsen a person's allergic reaction to some routine allergens. The researchers found that allergy sufferers had more symptoms after taking an anxiety-producing test, than when they did a task that did not make them tense. Stress hormones may stimulate a blood protein that causes allergic reactions as informed by the study author Janice Kiecolt-Glaser, PhD.
Remedy: The antihistamines given to treat allergy symptoms may not be the whole solution, so it’s advised to get plenty of sleep every night and not just on weekends.
Sweet Cravings: When there are some people who lose their appetites when they are under stress, there are some that ignites cravings for things like chocolate and carbohydrates. You may not have realized this but you can apply "stressed" as "desserts" spelled backwards. A person often feels a craving for the junk foods, soda, caffeine and alcohol to give them a lift or calm them, but is a temporary feeling that can be satiated.
Remedy: When the cravings set in, try chewing sugarless gum or to detach yourself from the idea of taking those mouth-watering illusions, try going for a walk to relieve the stress.
