The “Sympathetic Side” of Your Nervous System, Part 2

The sympathetic nervous system is supposed to turn on when we are in danger. So what happens when for five minutes we can’t think straight, digest food, or clear toxins from the liver? It won’t matter if we don’t survive the current threat. The problem is that many of us are in fight or flight much of the time—even when there is no true danger. Can you think of situations that stress you out when your life is not in danger?

    I don’t know whether it’s just me or if everyone else experiencing issues with your site. It appears like some of the written text on your posts are running off the screen. Can somebody else please comment and let me know if this is happening to them as well? This may be a issue with my browser because I’ve had this happen previously. Appreciate it

    Interesting blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere? A theme like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my blog shine. Please let me know where you got your theme. Appreciate it

      We created the theme using stock photography and illustration from istockphoto.com plus our own “hummer.”
