RESPONSE
to the stressor
![Page 5: God’s Plan for Wellness STRESS Global Health Workshop King College, Bristol TN Adapted from Skip MacCarty, Andrews University](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649e765503460f94b78504/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
God’s Plan for Wellness
Physical changes of acute stress
1. Heart rate accelerates and force of contractions increases
2. Blood pressure increases as arteries contract
3. Shallow rapid breathing d/t dilatation of bronchial tubes
4. Muscles become tense to prepare for action
5. More blood flows to the muscles
6. Digestion slows; blood is shunted away to brain and muscles
![Page 6: God’s Plan for Wellness STRESS Global Health Workshop King College, Bristol TN Adapted from Skip MacCarty, Andrews University](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649e765503460f94b78504/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
God’s Plan for Wellness
7. Blood clotting increases to slow blood loss from wounds
8. Blood leaves hands and feet; they become cold, clammy
9. Senses sharpen; pupils dilate
10. Sweat glands increase perspiration
11. Blood sugar increases to provide more energy
12. Increased urge to urinate and/or defecate

God’s Plan for Wellness
CHRONIC STRESS
1. Acute stress becomes chronic when we relive it.
2. If we hold onto anger or fear, the glands continue to produce hormones that prepare the body to fight or flee.
3. Over time this causes damage to heart, blood vessels, digestive system, muscles, and other organs.
4. We become ill.

Warning signs of stress overload

2. Chronic fatigue
3. Disturbance of sleep
4. Irritability
5. Depression and poor ability to concentrate

STRESS TANK
SAFETY VALVE HOT WATER
RELEASE VALVE
![Page 10: God’s Plan for Wellness STRESS Global Health Workshop King College, Bristol TN Adapted from Skip MacCarty, Andrews University](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649e765503460f94b78504/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
God’s Plan for Wellness
STRESS TANK
We are the tank.
Hot water (stress) flows in under pressure.
A safety valve exists to release excessive pressure
A relief valve exists to maintain acceptable pressure.
![Page 11: God’s Plan for Wellness STRESS Global Health Workshop King College, Bristol TN Adapted from Skip MacCarty, Andrews University](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649e765503460f94b78504/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
God’s Plan for Wellness
Tank pressure capacity varies according to:
1. General level of health
2. Emotional maturity
3. Relationships and social support systems
4. Type of personality
5. Attitudes and beliefs - trust in God
![Page 12: God’s Plan for Wellness STRESS Global Health Workshop King College, Bristol TN Adapted from Skip MacCarty, Andrews University](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649e765503460f94b78504/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
God’s Plan for Wellness
When the tank ruptures
Breakdown of health - a stress-related illness

God’s Plan for Wellness
We often occlude the safety valve

God’s Plan for Wellness
Keeping the hot water flowing
and the pressure acceptable
1. Open the pressure relief valve daily or many times per day.
2. Be sure nothing occludes the safety valve.
