Stress is a killer which most people are unaware.



Working 7 days a week will give us gain or lose?

If the answer is yes we must give answer why and if no, why?


Let us look at life today it is much different than many years ago. Before, families and relatives are living together in one place or their houses near to each other. But now it is much different, we are detached from association of our families and relatives, isolated also from friends, face our problems alone and we almost don’t have time to talk to friends.


This makes our lives stressful and causes some illnesses to many people. Many are wondering what are the causes of these diseases, others also are expecting that food are the causes so they concentrate on resolving on that issue which is partly right.


 Many articles already have been written about food, environment and the need for exercise. Here we will tackle on having rest. But the question is how can one have proper rest when one has troubled mind? Take note of that question how it can be answered.


1.      If we do not take rest, how our body reacts?

There are metabolic reactions when we are subject to continued stress which would cause us to have illness. Let us read an article from website adrenal-failure.com about this subject.

What is cortisol? What role does it play in your health?


What is Cortisol?

In its normal function, cortisol helps us meet daily stresses and challenges by converting proteins into energy, releasing glycogen and counteracting inflammation. For a short time, having cortisol elevated is healthy, but over time high levels of cortisol in your system can gradually tear down muscle tissue and bone, impair the immune system, contribute to digestive and metabolism issues, lead to weight gain around the belly, and decreases mental clarity.

The question what is cortisol is not discussed often enough when it comes to our overall health and well-being and can be a main contributor when it comes to beer belly fat and being unable to reduce belly fat. Many people look for free diet plans to help them reduce their belly fat, only to be disappointed by failure. What is cortisol and how does it relate to your health? Reducing the beer belly is more than just about cutting out calories, trying the next free diet plans or fads it is about bringing down your blood sugar and insulin levels, which relates to cortisol levels in the bloodstream. It also means removing toxins in your body and system and cleansing your liver so it runs optimally. Getting good nutrition into your body and system.


Cortisol is Essential to Life

Cortisol is essential to life and has many positive effects. It gives the body a burst of needed energy when you are trying to get away from danger, it is important part of helping your body respond and deal with stress. It will also contribute to better memory, increased immunity and helps maintain the homeostasis of the body.

Due to our change in lifestyle cortisol is increasingly being secreted into the bloodstream and is often termed the "stress hormone". No longer are humans being chased by tigers or other animals. Our stress is more constant, it is sitting in traffic trying to get to work on time, road rage, financial stress, family stress, social isolation and information overload. Can you think of some constant stresses in your life?

Cortisol is secreted by the adrenal glands and is secreted at higher levels during the body's flight or fight response. High Cortisol levels can be extremely damaging. Cortisol plays a role in proper glucose metabolism; regulation of blood pressure; insulin release for blood sugar maintenance and boosting immune function. Since our bodies are constantly in a state of flight or fight response. Many times we have a higher more prolonged level of cortisol in our systems due to chronic stress and contribute to:
  • High blood pressure
  • Lowered immune function
  • Increased beer belly fat
  • High cholesterol
  • Suppressed thyroid function
  • Impaired alertness and mental function
To keep cortisol at healthy levels, one needs to reduce belly fat and engage the body's relaxation system. Do you have a hard time relaxing? You can teach your body to relax with various stress management techniques and lifestyle changes. For example:
  • Journaling
  • Getting massages on a regular basis
  • Yoga
  • Stretching
  • Meditation
  • Breathing
  • Exercise
  • Simplifying your life
Cortisol is a hormone that requires balance. High cortisol levels will lead to belly fat around the abdomen, high blood sugar and insulin levels, and an increase risk of heart disease. But extremely low levels of cortisol are also detrimental to your heath. In achieving healthy cortisol levels, balance is the key.
If one is not aware of this reality, and he continues to work 7 days a week, he might result into terrible illness, in that case he lose instead of gain. We commonly hear rich people sick wick with serious illness.


2.     Humans are living machines, no machine can work continuously 7 days a week the whole year round.

Being a believer of the creator, I uphold that the scripture is perfectly right when it gave a command to set aside one day to have perfect rest, to stop from doing anything. But is it enough to just stop from our normal work? I think the answer is no if we talk about having ourselves a proper rest.
Others do more stressful things during their off day such as overnight in gambling or drinking liquor.  These activities do more harm instead of having rest. Traveling into other places with your family with the beautiful view of nature would be helpful, but we cannot do it every week. There is a proper way to have rest which can be done routinely without spending much, it is setting aside a day with our creator.


3.      Give especial time with your creator can give you perfect rest.

It is the reality that many people did not value which causes lot of their troubles, it is ignoring the creator. We breathe and live due to the sustenance of life from the Creator. We are perpetually connected to Him without our awareness. Once we are disconnected from Him we are dead body at once. Revitalizing our relationship with Him is reassuring that our connection point is in proper status. Doing this activity every week would give us real strength and fullness of life.


Refreshing our knowledge that the Creator cannot die, that He made all things, that He sees the past and the future, that there is nothing impossible with Him would give us tremendous strength and induce us fullness of life, removes all fear and give hope for our future. If we do it in the proper way it would give us complete rest resulting into physical and spiritual health. Many people end up in despair even if they are wealthy. Failure to know this truth will lead a life into feeling of despair and emptiness.


Another thing to do is to discover how to let our mind stop thinking from our problems. It is impossible to do it without any means.


a.       First, we must know that we cannot exist by ourselves alone. Nothing can exist in this universe without a cause or source of origin. Knowing this fact would lead us to search what or who is our origin.


  b.      Second, we must know that there is creator. Many people became great because they were able to talk with this Creator. The Creator wrote a law in a tablet of stones and these tablets were put in a box called tabernacle and has been kept by certain group of people as per the Holy Scriptures. He punished those who opposed Him and divided the red sea which story is well known by everyone. He did many wonders and miracles as per the record (refer to Exodus in the Scripture). Knowing these facts and being connected with this Creator will give us assurance that we can rely on Him on anything.


c.       Third, set a day with our creator undisturbed. The Infinite Mind or the Super-conscious Mind does not have physical body so there must be no disturbance when we talk to Him so that we can focus our attention. Using our mind through meditation only we can connect with Him. We must uphold the truths above so that we can have faith on the creator since without faith nobody can do any of those meditations or communications. Those are the pre-requisites to be able benefit the objective of connecting with the creator. If you don’t know this, find people or group of people who has connection with the creator and ask for guidance.
      By knowing these truths only that we can have means to free ourselves from heavy loads and troubles.  With heart being unloaded and mind being clear from confusion and fears and worries, by setting aside one day every week, complete health can happen into our whole being.

4.       There is no perfect human being in this world

There are always chances of failures due to our limited knowledge. Knowing that the creator sees the past and the future, that He is a loving person, He can impart some wisdom, here we know someone whom we can ask for guidance and wisdom in everything that we plan.
By being a believer and giving a day to communicate with the creator we can benefit His wisdom. This is among the secrets in this life. Ill health can be prevented and failures might be minimized by following the formula of giving a day with the creator.


In conclusion, our knowledge about health is lacking if we miss to know these facts of life mentioned above. Wisdom has reverse philosophy than the common mind. It always sees beyond what others do not see. Therefore here we claim that if one works seven days a week and do not recognize the creator he will become loser. He might lose his health as well as his wealth. But if he will do as detailed above and do it in the right way, he will have perfect health plus bonus of more wealth because the Infinite Mind will guide him with his plans. 


The Scripture says; “The steps of the righteous are guided by the Lord”, “He will be like a tree planted by the rivers of waters bearing fruits in all seasons”, Psalms.
