Everyone expresses stress from time to time. Stress can be caused by anything from everyday responsibilities such as work and family to serious life events such as a new diagnosis, war or the death of a loved one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In urgent, short-term situations, stress can be good for your health. This can help you deal with potentially serious situations. Your body responds to stress by releasing hormones that increase your heart and breathing rates and prepare your muscles to respond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If stress levels remain high for much longer than is necessary for survival, it can harm your health.

For example, a negative effect on the immune system can be caused by a decrease in the activity of natural &quot;killer&quot; cells and a decrease in the secretion of IgA, which protects the digestive tract from &quot;invaders&quot;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chronic stress can also disrupt the functioning of the digestive tract, as beneficial bifidobacteria and lactobacilli decrease, and pathogenic E. coli and enterobacteria increase.<gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><\/gwmw><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chronic stress can also increase or decrease cortisol levels. At first, cortisol levels may increase. Elevated cortisol can have negative effects on the immune system, blood pressure, blood sugar, weight loss, and more. However, over time, the adrenal glands can become tired and cortisol levels can decrease. Adaptogenic herbs and some <a href=\"https:\/\/findvit.com\/en\/kodel-b-grupes-vitaminai-yra-svarbus-ir-kur-ju-gauti\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">B group vitamins<\/a> may help regulate cortisol levels.*<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"kas-gali-padeti-iveikti-stresa\"><strong>What can help overcome stress?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a number of nutrients and herbal remedies that can help alleviate the physical effects of stress on the body.*<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adaptogenic botanicals can be extremely effective in managing stress.* But what are adaptogens? <a href=\"https:\/\/findvit.com\/en\/kas-yra-adaptogenai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Adaptogens <\/a>increases the body&#039;s resistance to stress by acting as a stabilizer or normalizer.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if cortisol levels are high, an adaptogen can help bring cortisol levels down to normal, and if cortisol levels are already normal, an adaptogen can help maintain them.*<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a number of plants that fall into the category of adaptogens. The two best-known adaptogens are Korean or Chinese ginseng (lat. <em>Panax ginseng<\/em>) and Siberian ginseng (lat. <em>Eleutherococcus senticosus<\/em>).*<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other adaptogenic plants: ashwagandha (lat. <em>Withania somnifera<\/em>), licorice (lat. <em>Glycyrrhiza glabra<\/em>) and pink rhodiola (lat. <em>Rhodiola rosea<\/em>). Korean or Chinese ginseng, Siberian ginseng. Licorice and ashwagandha adaptogenically affect primarily the adrenal glands, while rhodiola primarily affects the central nervous system, as it helps to normalize the amount of neurotransmitters in the brain.*<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can I improve my gut health by reducing stress?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"368\" src=\"https:\/\/findvit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/stresas-3.jpg\" alt=\"stress\" class=\"wp-image-12439\" srcset=\"https:\/\/findvit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/stresas-3.jpg 580w, https:\/\/findvit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/stresas-3-1x1.jpg 1w, https:\/\/findvit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/stresas-3-10x6.jpg 10w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><\/gwmw><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Although there is no known causal relationship between stress and appendicitis, managing stress can still help your gut health.
