I start each New Year declaring that this will be the non-stress year.
I will sign up for those wonderful yoga classes held at my community center and channel the Dalai Lama for all that I’m worth.
And then January arrives and I’m busy with new projects . . . exciting ones, but stressful nonetheless.
And with February comes the old annual dreads, namely tax season. It’s not paying them that gets me so tied up – it’s all the preparation that puts my stomach in a knot.
And rather than decreasing, my stress has managed to mutate and spawn stress babies!
Stress isn’t something that should be brushed off with the other never-to-be-fulfilled New Year’s resolutions, like only eating chocolate once a week or drinking more green tea. Stress reduction is good for both physical and mental wellbeing and shouldn’t be taken lightly.
Case in point: some recent research out of NIH studying the adult regulation of neurogenesis (the process responsible for the growing brain).
Heather Cameron’s laboratory has found that corticosteroids, (the hormones released from the adrenal in response to stress,) inhibit neurogenesis in the aging rat.
Here’s what I found so interesting.
When corticosteroids are removed, the rate of neurogenesis in old rats can be restored to that of young adults.
While we aren’t elderly rats, the thought that stress could be so damaging to mind and memory really gets my attention.
Neurobiology is changing so much about the way we practice, incorporating ideas that were not considered even 3 years ago.

There are actually quite a lot of ditaels like that to take into consideration. That could be a nice level to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as normal inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up the place crucial factor can be working in sincere good faith. I don?t know if finest practices have emerged around things like that, however I’m sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Each girls and boys feel the impression of only a second’s pleasure, for the remainder of their lives.

I have been wondering for a long time what the effects of corticosteroids in the blood (stress) could be on embryos and fetuses. The seeming rise in ADD/ADHD, sensory integration diosorders, and even conditions on the autism spectrum begs the question of causality. One thing that is sure different these days, as opposed to when I was growing up, is the levels of stress parents (and pregnant and lactating mothers) have to endure. I am not aware of the official prevalence statistics, but from observation in my direct experience and anedoctal evidence from doctors and psychologists from countries where the culture is a little more relaxed when it comes to competition and achievement, as well as more collectivist (more social interactions and support), it seems that these childhood conditions are not so prevalent. So all of this makes me wonder. Are you aware of any research specifically on this question?
Thank you.
