Re: Sympathetic Nervous System

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I don't know for certain, but I would think that as the body is less stressed

from toxic elements, it would function better.

Also many of us with candida have adrenal gland issues. As the body heals

itself and the adrenal glands settle down (ie. - they stop running on the

sympathetic 'fight or flight' hormones) we are better equipped to handle stress.

Of course, when we learn to listen to our bodies and to know when and how to use

our breath, it is also beneficial.

at?

+++Hi . Deep breathing helps, but like wrote, when your adrenals

are normalized so they aren't overstressed, mainly by toxins, you shouldn't get

that feeling like it's not enough after doing deep breathing.

+++When your body is healthy it won't be causing fight/flight to kick in like it

does now since it won't be as stressed. However other stresses will still cause

it to happen. I have to do deep breathing to switch over when I'm stressed.
