Imagine: you are sitting in your car when
suddenly a truck comes bearing down on you. Before you have had a chance to
realize the situation, your body reacts. Stress hormones pour into the bloodstream
with lightning speed, respiration rate and muscle reactions increase, the
heart beats faster, the blood supply to the muscles rises, fat reserves
and sugar become activated. Blood coagulation intensifies to prepare for
possible injuries.
In order to mobilize all available energy to handle this
state of emergency, unnecessary body functions such as digestion and reproduction
are deactivated. The immune system slows down to a crawl. |
