“Stress = Death”: Can stress cause you?

“Stress = Death”: Can stress cause you?

There are many ways that chronic stress can cause you death. Cortisol which is often referred as stress hormone includes in that. Elevated Cortisol levels interact and interfere with learning, memorizing, lowering the immunity system and lessens its functioning, there are lot many more factors like decrease in bone density and increasescholesterol and level of lying on the bed of heart diseases rate increases drastically.

Chronic Stress is hazardous and causes heart related diseases which leads to early death and can also cause cancer and other health related issues in the early ages.

The most stressed out people will have a premature death with higher risk and with higher rate. According to some studies 1293 men annually have premature deaths with chronic stress.

What is Chronic Stress?

Chronic Stress is a response to emotional&psychological pressures suffered and prolonged for a large period of time in which the individual have little or no control on the situation by which he goes through.

• Depression or general unhappiness.
• Anxiety and agitation.
• Moodiness, irritability, or anger.
• Feeling overwhelmed.
• Loneliness and isolation.
• Other mental or emotional health problems.

The above mentioned are the symptoms of Chronic stress, to overcome stress chronic stress one should know its symptoms, and then find a remedy to overcome the stress factor.

Chronic Stress in Females

In females the death ratio is low compared to men. But chronic stress has been linked with many severe problems in female reproduction both in human and non- human animals in many studies. But contrast, to this very less researches have been focused on relationship between chronic stress and sexual functioning. Many women daily experience a hectic lives, in which they are frequently exposed to small,chronic stressors. By regular accumulation of these small stressors can potentially contribute its part related to sexual functioning.

Finally high level of chronic stress in female will relate to lower level of genetic sexual arousal and high level of chronic stress in males might lead to death.

Probiotics is this the reason of worsening Cryptosporidiosis in mice.

Being administered a probiotic, researchers have found that infection with intestinal parasite Cryptosporidium parvum is worsened in mice.

Cryptosporidiosis is one of the main cause of diarrhea in most of the developing and under developing countries on an estimate of over 48000 people were killed in 2016. Doctors and researchers have not yet found any drug that can treat the infection and any vaccine that can prevent it.

Compared to control mice, those that were given the probiotic had altered gut micro flora and more parasites in their feces, and their intestinal micro flora were different from those of the control mice.

Researchers and doctors assumed that healthy microbiome could prevent or reduce the severity of the infection, but contrary to their expectational assumptions, they came to notice that consumption of commercially available probiotic actually increased the severity of the infection.

                            

Antibiotics, which often disturb or even use up and empty all the normal intestinal micro flora, thus can render individuals more vulnerable to infection precisely related to intestine. On the other hand, researches posited that a healthy balance of microflora can prevent or reduce severity of cryptosporidiosis in a mouse model.

“Mitigating the diseases severity might be adequate to prevent diarrhea, or lessen the duration, and empower the immunes system so to naturally control the infection”

Although the outcome of the study was quite contrary to their hypothesis, the fact that cryptosporidium growth can be affected by diet has meant Widmer and colleagues now think that it may still be possible to design probiotics that will mitigate the infection.

Widmer says that the aim now is to find a find a mechanistic link between microflora and cryptosporidium proliferation and ultimately design a simple nutritional supplement that helps the body fight the infection.

“Identifying specific mechanisms that amend pathogen virulence in response to diet may enhance the development of simple pre- or probiotics capable of modifying the composition of the microbiota to lower the severity of cryptosporidiosis.”
