The effect of Stress on your Brain and Body

Stress can have significant effects on both the brain and the body. When we experience stress, our body's natural response is to initiate the "fight-or-flight" response, which triggers a cascade of physiological changes to help us cope with the perceived threat. However, chronic or prolonged stress can have detrimental effects on our overall health. Here are some of the effects of stress on the brain and body:

1. Brain:

   • Reduced cognitive function: Chronic stress can impair memory, concentration, and decision-making abilities. It can also affect learning and creativity.

   • Emotional impact: Stress can lead to increased anxiety, depression, irritability, and mood swings. It may also contribute to the development or exacerbation of mental health disorders.

   • Altered brain structure: Prolonged stress can lead to structural changes in the brain, particularly in areas associated with memory and emotional regulation, such as the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex.

   • Impaired sleep: Stress can disrupt sleep patterns, leading to difficulties falling asleep, staying asleep, or achieving restorative sleep. Lack of sleep can further impact cognitive function and emotional well-being.

2. Cardiovascular system:

   • Increased heart rate and blood pressure: Stress triggers the release of stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, which can elevate heart rate and blood pressure. Prolonged elevation of these parameters may contribute to the development of cardiovascular problems.

   • Increased risk of heart disease: Chronic stress is associated with a higher risk of developing heart disease, including hypertension, heart attacks, and strokes.

   • Atherosclerosis: Chronic stress may promote the development of atherosclerosis, the buildup of plaque in the arteries, which can restrict blood flow and increase the risk of cardiovascular events.

3. Immune system:

   • Suppressed immune function: Prolonged stress can suppress the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to infections, illnesses, and slower wound healing.

   • Inflammatory response: Chronic stress can lead to increased inflammation in the body, which has been linked to various health problems, including autoimmune disorders, cardiovascular disease, and mental health disorders.

4. Digestive system:

   • Digestive issues: Stress can affect the digestive system, leading to symptoms such as stomachaches, cramps, diarrhea, or constipation. It can also exacerbate conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

   • Appetite changes: Some individuals may experience changes in appetite due to stress, leading to overeating or undereating, which can contribute to weight gain or loss respectively.

5. Musculoskeletal system:

   • Muscle tension and pain: Stress can cause muscle tension and stiffness, leading to headaches, back pain, and generalized muscle aches.

   • Increased risk of musculoskeletal disorders: Chronic stress may increase the risk of developing or exacerbating musculoskeletal conditions such as tension headaches, migraines, temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ), and fibromyalgia.

Serobrine can help. The Sceletium tortuosum extract in Serobrine has been demonstrated to be a potent serotonin-uptake inhibitor and serotonin releasing agent. It has significant cognitive enhancing and neuro-protective effects, being a noted PDE4 inhibitor, all without any significant side-effects or negative long-term consequences as those of chemical SSRI products.

The three-fold combination of:

Sceletium Extract (Kanna), NAD+ and Vit B6 make Serobrine the preferred Sceletium (Kanna) product.
