STRESS & Tiens Solutions

The single greatest . killer. in today.s modern world is STRESS. Stress upsets the body.s normal balance, creating the perfectbreeding ground for illness. Stress is said to be responsible for asmuch as 80% of major illnesses, including cardiovascular diseases,cancer, diseases of the endocrine system, metabolic diseases, and infections of many different kinds. If this weren.t enough, stress can also be responsible for aggravating many major skin problems, such as skin cancer and psoriasis, as well as minor skin problems like blemishes. When the body is under stress, the immune cells in the skin can become damaged by chemicals that are released from the nerve cells in response to it. Stress can be caused by many emotional situations, as well as by environmental situations like noise, traffic jams, temperature extremes, crowds, and pollution. It can also be caused by lack of proper balance in diet, drink, sleep, and work. No generation before us has faced the amount of airborne pollution, or pesticides and

herbicides that we face today.

One of the most common of all adult complaints is back problems. Professionals now believe that with many the root cause is stress,  which causes the muscles to tighten up. Stress can be related to loss of appetite, loss of memory, inability to sleep properly, chronic fatigue, headaches, depression, withdrawal, low self-esteem, high blood pressure, stomach disorders, irritable bowel syndrome, and much, much more. When we are under stress, the body.s natural response is with the . fight or flight. mechanism of the adrenal glands. This response includes increased adrenal secretion, elevated blood pressure, increased heart beat, tension in the muscles, muted or stopped digestive processes, fats and sugars released into the blood stream, and the blood becomes more prone to clotting in preparation for the possibility of external wounding. The pituitary gland increases

production of adrenocorticotropic hormone, stimulating the release of cortisome and cortisol hormones. These hormones in turn inhibit the function of the disease-fighting white blood cells, and suppress the immune system. Under stress, there is a response from almost all our body.s organs and related functions. Prolonged or recurring stress can lead to nutritional deficiencies, because under the . fight or flight. mechanism of the adrenal gland, the body metabolizes fats, carbohydrates, and proteins too quickly, in order to produce the burst of energy needed for the . supposed. emergency. This in turn causes an increase in the secretion of amino acids, potassium, and phosphorus. It also depletes stored magnesium in muscle tissue, and causes the body to store less calcium. Since the digestive process is muted or stopped under stress, the body is hindered from absorbing its needed nutrients. Consequently, under stress the body is depleated of many needed nutrients and is hindered or unable to replace them adequately. Stress is also responsible for the formation of free radicals, which break down and damage body tissue. The end result of all this is that many of the diseases that are the result of stress are the result of basic nutritional deficiencies. Its no wonder stress is such a . killer. !

ADAPTOGENS - "Nature's Answer To Stress"

Recently a new word has begun to enter the vocabulary of botanists, herbal researchers, pharmacologists, and sports medicine practitioners. That word is .ADAPTOGEN.!

Adaptogens are natural substances found in a few rare herbs. The word 'adaptogen' was coined as far back as 1947, by Russian scientists, and is used to describe the unique effect certain herbs have in increasing the human body's natural resistance to physical and emotional stress, fatigue, depression and illness. Adaptogens help balance the body when it is under the influence of stress, and they do it in a restorative rather than curative manner.

Adaptogens heighten the general resistance of the human body to infections, chemical poisons and stress, as well as safely increasing muscle strength and mental capacity."

Adaptogens have three distinguishing qualities:

1. They catalyze a non-specific response in the body to increase the body's resistance to stress on a cellular level.

2. Their effect is to balance and normalize the body's systems leading to a greater overall health.

3. They are completely non-toxic and have no harmful effects no matter how long they are used.

Diets rich in adaptogenic nutrients have been scientifically proven to have extraordinary effects on the human body, physically, mentally and emotionally, and to provide benefits you cannot get from anything else in the modern western diet.

Tianshi products with herbs with adaptogenic qualities are:

 Cordyceps, and

 Cardio or Antilipemic Tea
