The hassle of work hits your stomach. But how? It would seem that the stomach does not depend much on the head. That's the problem, doctors believe.

In the right doses, stress is more effective than coffee. Hardly anything can cheer you up better than the approaching deadline: lethargy is relieved by hand, your head clears up. But an overdose often happens. As a result, there is a feeling of weakness after sleepless nights, back pain, muscle pain – and abdominal pain.

But what does the stomach have to do with it, you ask?
Imagine a primitive man. He didn't even know about deadlines, but he was dealing with prehistoric monsters. Stress hormones accelerate blood circulation and provide the increased muscle tone needed to run or fight. Today, we rarely have to run away or fight, and therefore the muscle tension that has not received an outlet, after some time transforms into pain in the muscles of, say, the back. It makes sense, doesn't it?
Neither the primitive nor the modern man in a situation of stress does not need "help" from the abdomen. So couldn't evolution have saved us at least from the problems in our underbelly?
"You're thinking in the wrong direction," says Paul Enk, a professor of medical psychology at the University of Tübingen. "Precisely because the gastrointestinal tract is not activated in response to stress, activity in this area decreases." Literally the following happens: the sympathetic part of the autonomic nervous system stimulates blood circulation. At the same time, the parasympathetic department, which is antagonistic to it, shows less activity. In this regard, processes slow down in the area regulated by the parasympathetic department of the digestive tract.
"From an evolutionary and biological point of view, this is justified, since a huge amount of energy is needed for digestion. This energy is provided by a powerful blood flow into the vessels that feed the gastrointestinal tract," says Enk. This is what the body tries to prevent by reacting to stress. After all, blood is necessary for him for other things, for example, for the work of muscles. The digestive system gets a kind of respite. As a result, someone under severe stress - say, before an exam - somehow urgently "frees up" the body from what they ate. Some lose their appetite from excitement.
After a successful "escape" - for example, after passing an exam - the digestive system is reactivated, appetite returns, the body digests food normally. But with prolonged stress, a "lazy" stomach and intestines can become a real problem. If the blood flow to the gastric mucosa is not provided in the proper volume for a long time, it becomes permeable to aggressive gastric acid, which corrodes the muscles of the stomach. The result may be inflammation. The intestinal walls, which usually allow only nutrients into the body and act as a barrier to everything else, can become permeable to bacteria, which sometimes leads to intestinal inflammation. Hence the pain.
Perhaps, in the process of further evolution, a person will still adapt to a new kind of stress load? "This is again a fundamentally wrong idea," laughs Paul Enk. - It does not seem to me that a person should set himself the task of adapting to constant stress. It's much better to change life itself." 1xbet bonus upon registration on the website. The company guarantees a 100% bonus for the first deposit.
