RE: WHY ARE YOU SO STRESSED OUT? Stress the Highly Neglected Human Condition
Very excellent post. Detailed much. I’m curious however to know how adrenaline and noradrenaline play roles in relieving stress :) can you throw more light on that please ?
Adrenaline which may also be referred to as the fight or flight hormone is mostly produced by the adrenal gland when it receives a message about the presence of a stressful situation from the brain.
Adrenaline works with norepinephrine, which are responsible for the immediate reaction whenever we are stressed.
When ever you are faced with a dangerous situation which poses some stress, the reason why you are still focused and have more energy to run away from such situation is because of the secretion of adrenaline.
On the other hand, Noradrenaline is the main neurotransmitter of the sympathetic nerves in the cardiovascular system and these sympathetic noradrenergic system is active even when the individual is at rest and maintains tonic levels of cardiovascular performance.
Both Adrenaline and Noradrenaline are referred to as catecholamines and they affect cardiovascular functions by their action on cardiovascular cells in the nervous system.
