Hey do you know that excessive stress may hinder digestion? When we are suffering from great stress, the flight-or-fight response, triggered by sympathetic nervous system, would lower the blood flow to the digestive system Well if it’s a bit hard to understand...imagine you are fleeing from a tiger running towards you, it’s not that important to digest now, so your body will send more blood to the other parts of the body e.g. leg muscles so that you can run away from danger Ok I know it’s not very usual that a tiger will run after you, but that’s an example of how your body deals with stress. Irritable bowel syndrome is one of the digestive disorders associated with stress, which research has shown that cognitive behavioural therapy could help in alleviating the symptoms No matter it’s work, school, relationships...try to be at peace in whatever you are handling now
你知道過多的壓力會阻礙消化嗎？當我們感到很大壓力，交感神經受刺激後產生的「戰鬥或逃跑」反應會減少流動到消化系統的血液 嗯，如果這樣説有點難明的話，試想像你在逃離一隻正在跑向你的老虎：現在消化已經不再重要，所以你的身體會傳送更多血液去身體其他部位，例如：腿部的肌肉，幫助你脱離險境對，我知道在日常生活不會有老虎追著你跑，但這是一個你的身體如何面對壓力的例子。大腸激躁症是與壓力相關的消化系統疾病，而有研究指出認知行為治療能幫助減少病徵無論面對工作、學業，還是人際關係上的問題，嘗試心平氣和地面對吧
