Reflexology & The Stress Free Bride

Are you feeling a little grumpy before your wedding?

Do you know what stress actually does to your body…?

1. Stress increases your blood pressure which could compromise your kidney function;

2. In some cases, the human body responds to stress by shutting down the gastro-intestinal tract, preventing it from processing food and providing our body with the daily nutrition it needs to function properly;

3. Stress causes the liver to release an excess of glucose and fatty acids into the blood stream. The body is then forced to produce significant amounts of insulin to deal with the excess. Over time, this will cause unnecessary fluctuations in blood sugar levels, leading to hypoglycemia and diabetes in some cases. The extra glucose turns to fat since no muscular work was performed to burn it off. In addition, the fatty acids can clog your arteries when unused;

4. Stress exhausts your adrenal glands since they are responsible for producing the hormones which enable the body to deal with stress;
