One of the most common dilemmas that face people is stress. Stress that is not normal.So what happens when the body gets too stressed out? Experts have found out that in this case, the adrenal cortex converts adrenal androgens to the hormone testosterone in both men and women, which in turn results in overactive sebaceous glands. As found out, the
ovaries of women are capable of producing 25 percent of the testosterone, while 75 percent of the hormone comes from the adrenal androgens.
When the body of both male and female is stressed, more adrenal androgen is released, causing a double amount of testosterone. It is this doubling effect that causes the T zone of the face to be oily, while other areas are still dry from dehydration. Also note that adult acne is sometimes the by-product of stress and dehydration. And, water and estrogen are the factors that calm the body’s stress alarm system.
It promotes relaxation and energization of the body, mind and emotions supports a greater spiritual awareness.Improves motivation and creative energy.It enhances health and vitality and lets many of the body system rest.Fasting minimizes the work done by the digestive organs, including the stomach, intestines, pancreas, gallbladder and liver, our body’s large production and metabloic factory can spend more time during fasting cleaning up and creating its many new substances for our use.Breakdown of stored or circulating chemicals is the basic process of detoxification.The blood and lymph also have the opportunity to be cleaned of toxins as all the eliminative functions are enhances with fasting.
Each cell has the opportunity to catch up on its work, with fewer new demands, it can repair itself and dump its waste for garbage pickup.Most fasters also experience a new vibrancy of their skin and clarity of mind and body.Initially the reduction of calories allows the liver to convert glycogen stores to glucose and energy.Bodyfat can be used for energy but it can not generate or reform glucose although many cells can metabolize fatty acids for energy the brain and nervous system need direct glucose.
Minute ventilation is the amount of air we either inspire or expire in one minute.Minute ventilation increases during exercise.This increase is directly proportional to increases in the amount of oxygen consumed and carbon dioxide produced per minute by the working muscles.The relationships between minute ventilation and oxygen consumption os disproportional only at or near maximal values.However, this is not the case with respect to carbon dioxide production.This indicates that minute ventilation is perhaps regulated more to the need for carbon dioxide removal than to oxygen consumption, at least under maximal exercise.
Maximal ventilation due to exercise can reach values as high as 180 and 130 litres per minute in male and female athletes, respectively.This represents about 25 to 30 fold increase over resting values, the respiratory rate increases from 12 to 15 per minute to above 30 per minute and the tidal volume increases from about 0.6 to 3.5 litres.Similar large increases maximal ventilation than trained individuals at any given level of oxygen consumption during exercise.
