The GAS (General Adaptation Syndrome)

 To simplify complications is the FIRST essential of success. (Click here) 

The General Adaption Syndrome (GAS) is a theory(by Hans Selye) that described the human body's short term and long term reaction to stressors. He developed the GAS after observing patients with different diseases reacting similarly to the stress of illness.

Stressors can be physical like wounds or surgery, and emotional, like feelings of grief or pressure to perform.

Phase 1. "Fight-or-Flight Syndrome" or Alarm Reaction.
Adrenal glands produce adrenaline and noradrenaline, which stimulate the heart, liver, kidneys and lungs.
RESULT: Rapid breathing increased heart rate and blood pressure, increased blood sugar, and muscle tension.

Phase 2. Resistance.
Brain triggers the release of corticosteroids by the pituitary gland.
RESULT: Emergency energy is created by the body to handle stress.

Phase 3. Exhaustion.
Continual use of energy causes physical exhaustion.
RESULT: "Diseases of adaption" or illness caused or worsened by stress. Colds, flu, arthritis, high blood pressure, and coronary artery disease are just some possibilities.

Stress is neutral agent. Stress that built the body up is called en-stress, like walking and breathing and eating. Stress that destroy the body is called distress.

Imagine yourself at PEACE


It is never too late or too early to revise and be wise again for the rest of our journey.......

 Use Water-cure. Rather be thankful for the timely warning, and do something about it.

Drink at least 10% of your own daily water-quota (31.42 ml multiply by your present body weight(kg), every 90 minutes. Use 1/4 teaspoon of sea-salt in your daily diet, for every 1250 ml water drank.

Pain is a sign/signal produced by dehydration in the human body. Pain may be common but it is not normal.
