Stress
Everyone experiences stress. But what triggers it is
different in everyone. Personality, genes, and experiences
all influence how we deal with stress.
Whatever the cause, stress is a factor in many diseases.
Stress may aggravate an existing health problem, or trigger
an illness if you’re at risk for the condition. Various
surveys estimate that stress contributes to 80 percent of
major illnesses such as cardiovascular disease, digestive
diseases (ulcers, ulcerative colitis), mental disorders,
injuries, nervous system and sensory-organ diseases,
musculoskeletal diseases, cancers, endocrine and metabolic
diseases, skin disorders, and infectious ailments of all
kinds.
Although we do not completely understand how illness and
stress interact, researchers are looking into it. Indeed,
the field of psychoneuroimmunology has emerged, which
focuses on how the central nervous system and immune system
influence each other during stress.
Whatever the cause of stress, the body’s physical response
to stress is similar to its reaction to a physical threat.
Your body reacts to face the "challenge":
A hormone called corticotropin releasing factor stimulates
the pituitary gland to release adrenocorticotropic hormone
(ACTH). This signals your adrenal gland to release more
hormones, including adrenaline and cortisol.
Adrenaline and cortisol prepare your body to respond to
stress. Your heart beats faster, breathing quickens, and
blood pressure rises.
Blood carrying oxygen and nutrients is redirected to organs
that need more energy to function with stress, such as your
brain and muscles. Less blood goes to your stomach and skin.
Potential energy sources—blood sugar (glucose) and
fat—are released into your blood. Fibrin, a chemical that
causes blood to clot more easily, is also released, perhaps
to slow or stop bleeding in case of injury.
Many of these physical changes can hurt your health over a
long period of time.
Immune system: Cortisol produced during the stress
response may suppress your immune system, increasing your
susceptibility to infectious diseases. Studies suggest the
incidence of bacterial infections such as tuberculosis and
group A streptococcal disease increase during stress. Stress
may also make you prone to upper respiratory viral
infections such as the common cold or flu.
Cardiovascular disease: Under acute stress, your
heart beats quickly, making you more susceptible to angina
(a type of chest pain) and heart rhythm irregularities.
When stress persists, increased blood clotting as a result
of the stress response can put you at risk for a heart
attack or stroke.
Other relationships between illness and stress aren’t as
clear-cut. But stress may worsen symptoms if you’re prone
to certain conditions:
Asthma: If you have asthma, a stressful situation can
make your airways overreactive and precipitate an attack.
Gastrointestinal problems: Stress can make your
symptoms worse if you have a gastrointestinal disorder such
as an ulcer or irritable bowel syndrome.
To help combat stress, change whatever factors you can. If
possible, get out of the stressful situation. If that is not
possible, there are a number of things you can do:
Exercise regularly: The natural decrease in
adrenaline production after exercise may counteract the
stress response. People who are physically fit handle stress
better.
Relax: Techniques such as guided imagery, meditation,
muscle relaxation, and relaxed breathing can help you relax.
You can also focus on hobbies or activities you find
calming.
Find a friend: Having friends and family members for
support makes dealing with stress easier.
Eat a good diet: Be sure you get:
- Nutrients that help your adrenal glands, which stimulate
the liver to convert glycogen (stored sugar) to glucose.
These nutrients include pantothenic acid, vitamin C, and
potassium.
- Nutrients that help fight infection that could result when
ill or stressed. These nutrients include vitamin C, vitamin
E, and potassium.
- Nutrients that help keep the thymus, which produces the T
cells that fight disease, from shrinking and working less in
times of stress. These nutrients include vitamin A, vitamin
C, and zinc.
- Nutrients that are known to help out in times of stress.
These include B vitamins and magnesium.
AIM Composure™
The herbs found in AIM Composure™ work together to
help you in times of stress. You may find yourself more
relaxed, and when combined with a healthy diet, experience a
healthy sense of well-being.
Many of the individual herbs in AIM Composure™ also
contain flavonoids. Flavonoids are chemical compounds found
in fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds that often have
beneficial effects. Flavonoids have been found to stimulate
the immune system, and their ongoing study may contribute to
a better understanding of the effects of the environment on
our immune system and on the development and control of
allergies.
How To Use AIM Composure™
Best results are obtained by taking 2 capsules a day, before
meals. You may take them with water or your favorite juice.
You may take more or less, depending on an assessment of
your daily needs.
Shelf life is 3 years, unopened. Store in a cool, dry place
(70-75 °F; 20.1-23.8 °C). Do not refrigerate.
Q&A
Why do you use herbal extracts instead of whole herbs?
There is a debate concerning whole herbs and herbal
extracts. One view states that whole herbs give you the
synergy of everything found in plants, and that some of this
could be lost when extracts are made. The other view states
that extracts make it possible to control the amount of the
active substances—you do not have to worry about
"potency" changing from batch to batch. There is
merit in both of these views, and we encourage you to study
the issue and come to your own decision.
AIM uses extracts for AIM Composure™ because we try
to supply Members with a range of products.
These herbs are also in AIM
Herbal Fiberblend™. Why don't I just take this?
AIM Composure™ was created because so many people
experienced benefits from the herbs in AIM Herbal Fiberblend™
and asked us to give them the herbs without the fiber. You
can, of course, take AIM
Herbal Fiberblend™ and get some of the herbal
effect.
Can I take AIM Composure™ with
AIM Herbal Fiberblend™ or other AIM products?
Yes, you can take AIM Composure™ with other AIM
products. Taking AIM Composure™ with AIM
Herbal Fiberblend™ will enhance the herbal
benefits of AIM Composure™
Will this make me sleepy?
Some people do experience this effect, while others do not.
Do I need to take AIM Composure™ every day?
The needs of each individual vary. Some people feel it is
useful to take AIM Composure™ only during times of
stress. Others use it regularly as part of an overall health
program. AIM Composure™ should be used daily during
the period of supplementation in which you choose to use it
(as opposed to taking it twice a week or whenever you feel
like using it). There is no problem with daily use of AIM
Composure™ from a safety point of view.
Is it better to take AIM Composure™ during the day, or
should I take it at night?
Take AIM Composure™ when you feel it is needed.
Some people take it during the day to help with stressful
situations, and others take it in the evening to help relax.
