Benefits and harm of adrenaline
Perhaps, everyone can remember at leastone incident in life when he experienced a powerful sense of fear or surprise on the verge of shock. Such a reaction is very accurately characterized by the expression "hit or run," because in a matter of seconds we are able to think about a plan for further action in an extraordinary situation.
Imagine that you are thinking, and have startedcross the road to a red light. The squeal of the brakes and the loud alarm horn bring you back to reality: at a huge speed the car approaches you! And then you miraculously concentrate and in time bounce off the road to the safe pavement. Everything that you are experiencing at this moment is a deep, primitive fear. No miracle happened - you survived thanks to the release of adrenaline into the blood. It was this hormone that did not allow your feet to automatically step under the wheels of the car.
Symptoms of adrenaline ejection
The heart is about to fly out of the chest.
Severe shortness of breath.
Excessive sweating.
Blurred vision.
The head is very painful, it's hard to breathe.
Fatigue, insomnia.
Difficulties in doing the usual work.
The effect of adrenaline on humans
The most powerful hormone of the human body,adrenaline, is produced in the adrenal cortex. On its appearance, the nervous and cardiovascular systems respond with a chain of very complex reactions that begin with a sharp expansion of the cerebral vessels, while the peripheral vessels narrow.
What does it mean? With the help of adrenaline ejection the body sends the brain the amount of blood sufficient for full nutrition in the force majeure situation. This has the most positive effect on the thinking ability of a person: it concentrates faster than usual, and is able to make important decisions quickly.
The heart rate increases, and the bloodsaturates a large amount of glucose, stimulating an increase in the level of energy reserves of the body. Heart muscle and skeletal muscles receive additional nutrition. Thanks to this energy "cocktail" a very tired person feels an extraordinary burst of vigor and freshness, he is active and, as they say, ready for adventure. What is happening can be regarded as an undeniable benefit of adrenaline, but this is a delusion.
Than adrenaline is dangerous
The hormone release simultaneously with mobilizationvitality harms the body, draining a person - to bring the tired body into a state of "combat readiness", you need colossal energy costs. Think about why after a birth a woman watches all the symptoms of adrenaline release into the blood? Yes, because during the birth process, all body systems work at the limit of human capabilities - it is in such situations that the use of adrenaline is undeniable.
But from a constant life "on adrenaline" peoplegets more harm than from ordinary experiences. Frequent sharp drops of the hormone into the blood, controlling our emotions and behavior, overload the organs and the cardiovascular system as a whole. A constant sense of drive, which makes a person unnecessarily active, entails a number of disorders and diseases in the future.
But still…
The use of artificial adrenaline in the righttime can save a person's life. The analog of the natural hormone is used with a sharp decrease in blood pressure and severe attacks of bronchial asthma. The release of adrenaline is based on cryotherapy - intentional strong cooling of the body. In the process of cryomassage, useful adrenaline enters the bloodstream, which stimulates the person to a quick recovery with pharyngitis, tonsillitis, chronic fatigue syndrome.
How to control adrenaline emissions
The high content of the hormone in the blood is preservedusually for 5 minutes, then its concentration goes to decrease. But if a person has health problems, and he lives in constant stress, adrenaline will be allocated much more, which harms the body.
Measures to combat frequent adrenaline emissions:
healthy way of life (moderate sports, walking outdoors, sufficient sleep);
refusal of coffee and alcohol - products affectingadrenaline formation. By the way, some stop eating meat, motivating their decision by the presence in the inanimate flesh of the "dead" adrenaline, which gives rise to depression and pessimism;
psychological unloading (yoga, aromatherapy, relaxation sessions, etc.);
pleasant pastime (reading, swimming);
communication in good company.
And although desperate and reckless people always aspireto get more adrenaline from life, it is better to seek pleasant sensations with more "peaceful" ways for the body, because everything that we do must be for the benefit of our health.
