IS STRESS MAKING YOU FAT?

FOUR MOUNTAINS, INC. REVEALS HOW STRESS COULD RUIN MORE THAN YOUR SUMMER BEACH LOOK!

Calabasas, CA – Juggling a ‘Type-A Personality,’ family/friends/life demands, career-on-the-run with regular exercise and diet (even soy lattes) should be enough to keep anyone fit. Add inrepparttar unstable stock market, taxes, freeway sig-alerts, battling office chaos, recovering fromrepparttar 115645 flu, all while we were at War with Iraq… it’s no surprise those ‘few extra pounds’ have not melted away in time for Summer. Four Mountains, Inc., is a privately held Clinical & Research Laboratory dedicated to synthesizing all available data inrepparttar 115646 fields of alternative medicine, disease prevention, wholistic mind/body health and anti-aging technology. They have found thatrepparttar 115647 human body storing energy as fat is one ofrepparttar 115648 many reflex, involuntary, biological responses to chronic stress.

"Stress makes our body store fat, which is stored energy, especially aroundrepparttar 115649 waist. This is a stress survival strategy. Whenrepparttar 115650 brain perceives stress, it makesrepparttar 115651 body do all kinds of things you would never want it to, unless of course you really were in a survival situation. If you were lost inrepparttar 115652 deep desert you would want your body to store energy as fat as this would help you makerepparttar 115653 long perilous journey back to civilization. The problem is that ALL stress triggers our fat storing mechanisms, even if we're just sitting in traffic and running late. Under stress,repparttar 115654 body just does what it does, and storing fat is one of those things,” explains Dr. Ward Coleman, N.D. and President of Four Mountains, Inc.

Inrepparttar 115646 past, scientists believed that we were each born with about 100 billion brain cells, and that after we reached adolescence our brain started dying at a rate of about 10,000 per day, and these cells could not be replaced.

New research has proven thatrepparttar 115647 brain CAN produce new cells and that we can grow our brain throughout our lives. We can improve our mental alertness and master new skills no matter how old we are. But to grow your brain you must takerepparttar 115648 steps described in this article.

Recently it was discovered thatrepparttar 115649 brain grows during sleep. Most ofrepparttar 115650 growth occurs betweenrepparttar 115651 sixth and eighth hour of sleep. This illustratesrepparttar 115652 importance of getting eight hours of sound sleep each night.

The most important step to ensure sound sleep is to maintain a regular schedule of when you go to sleep and when you rise. Staying up late on weekends is not good for your brain. Studies have found that people who receive eight or nine hours of regular sound sleep each night are more mentally sharp.

Blood flow is another important factor effecting brain growth. Blood carries oxygen and nutrients torepparttar 115653 brain's cells. Exercise isrepparttar 115654 way to increase blood flow torepparttar 115655 brain. Aerobic exercise like walking briskly, bicycling, and jogging arerepparttar 115656 best exercises for growing your brain. A University of Illinois study found that people who walked briskly for 45 minutes three times a week improved their cognitive speed by 15 percent.

The brain functions by communicating between cells through branches called dendrites. Nerve impulses are relayed acrossrepparttar 115657 gaps between dendrites, called synapses, by chemicals called neurotransmitters. When your brain is challenged with new information or new concepts, synaptic activity increases. A brain that is constantly challenged grows new dendrites.

The way to grow more dendrites is to learn new information and new concepts. The best way to learn is to take up a new challenging activity like computers, music, or learning a new language. You can also challenge your brain by working puzzles, solving brainteasers, playing strategy games, or by teaching others.
