Sometimes HumanaNatura salad meals come out good, sometimes great, and other times, even better than great! This delicious, healthy, and beautifully balanced example of the last category begins with a quick stir-fry of sliced pork and veggies seasoned with ginger, turmeric, tarragon, anise seeds, and just a bit of red pepper to accent the wonderful mix of natural flavors. We then pair this warm protein portion with our usual half-plate of cool raw greens, diced cucumber and grape tomatoes, and a handful of fresh blueberries. A meal like this doesn’t need much else, so we garnished and finished it simply with a few pistachios, parsley, coriander, a bit of lemon peel, and some cracked black pepper. Satisfying and also leaves you wanting more…and ready in about ten minutes!

In the new study, published in Circulation and summarized in the medical press, the research team found that people subject to extreme stress, in the form of the death of a loved one, were 21 times more likely to have a heart attack in the first 24 hours after the death and six times more likely in the first week. Both differences in heart attack rates are of course well above the threshold for medical significance.

Our Need to Focus on Chronic Stress

As important as these findings are, it is critical to point out that the principal problem with stress today is the chronic or ongoing rather than intense or acute variety. Protracted conditions of stress in us reliably lead to significant biochemical and immunological disruptions and then progressive reductions in our health and natural functioning. A list of important consequences from unaddressed chronic stress is available at The Effects Of Chronic Stress.

If we entertain the idea that stress is a physical phenomenon, one with medical and health significance, and not simply a psychological or attitudinal state, this implies that stress can be measured objectively and acted upon chemically. And this is indeed the case. Though far from the most adaptive or optimal long-term stress management strategy, we can take drugs that will literally, if temporarily and with undesirable side-effects, stop stress in its tracks.

The finding that stress is amenable to direct action of course lies behind the veritable stress management industry that exists in modern times, offering to help us reduce, remove, and recycle our stress for personal and collective benefit. But since overall stress levels still appear to be increasing among people in and entering working life in the United States and other parts of the developed world, despite a generation of widely available stress management techniques, there is an obvious gap between our stress reduction needs and assistance programs, and in the stress reduction results we are achieving individually and collectively today.

While current stress reduction efforts and techniques are laudable and can be part of a definitive strategy to greatly reduce health and life-impairing stress, they have proven themselves insufficient as they are and on their own. For HumanaNatura, it is time that we reconsider the way we think about and approach stress altogether, raising the bar on our goals for stress reduction and better addressing this critical modern natural health problem. Our proposal is that instead of simply managing stress, we need to re-focus on eliminating stress, at least in its chronic forms. Let’s consider both why and how a zero-stress life should and can become our goal and personal norm.

Understanding the Physics of Stress

Since there is an enormous gap between our stress reduction needs and reality, with critical personal health implications, let’s go for what may be a breakthrough for you in your approach to stress in the next few minutes.

First, let’s start with a simple, useful, and accurate, but today still controversial definition of stress – stress is anything that invokes a significant activation of our sympathetic nervous system (the part of our brains and neuroanatomy responsible for natural “fight or flight” responses). In our subjective experience, when we perceive stress, it is usually a negative and at least anxiety-producing event of some kind (think of tailgating motorists or an antagonistic co-worker). But such stress can exist in imperceptible or habituated forms too, and we can have significant stress activations that we fail to perceive for one reason or another. These forms of stress are usually of the all-important chronic variety.

The following chart summarizes common symptoms of stress, some of which are more obvious, others less so. But all are potentially dangerous, and life and health-limiting.

Source/Click To Enlarge: Stress Signs & Symptoms

When we think about the physics or chemistry and health effects of stress, our most important takeaway should be “a little can be good.” Of course, even a little stress needn’t be good, but sometimes it can be – say, when a specific stress activation helps us to respond to a grave and immediate threat effectively, or get more focused on significant life tasks. But other times, especially in the complex or unnatural settings of modern life, significant stress activations can impede personal creativity, problem solving, and overall performance in daily life. And when stress is more than a little – either severe or sustained at heightened levels – it can actively reduce our health and quality of life, as the heart attack risk study and other research into stress impacts remind us.

A Natural Perspective on Modern Stress

More than a little significant stress is bad for us for a few reasons. First, as we pointed out, acute stress can cause us to act rashly and less than optimally, potentially increasing total stress, especially in modern situations that are not analogous to natural life or a good fit with the evolved stress responses we carry around within us from our earlier development. Standing up to a lion or bully rather than running from them, for example, is a likely and generally healthy natural stress response. Doing the same when that bully has a gun and is demanding valuables, however, is probably less healthy but is still likely when our sympathetic nervous system is suddenly and dramatically activated.

A second reason for special attention to stress is that intense or protracted stress activations mean something has gone wrong, either in our environment or in how we are perceiving, thinking, feeling or acting in it. When we have significant and ongoing stress, it is a sign that we are not in a natural harmony with the world, others, or our health and well-being needs. Many of us accept fairly high levels of personal stress, especially compared with our natural capacity for stress, but this is almost always a mistake. Stress is telling us to respond and often is a telling indicator of a mismatch – and we often fail to act thoughtfully and appropriately in the face of heightened stress at our own peril.

This important idea brings us to a third critical reason to focus on stress. In addition to stress being a natural sign of personal or environmental imbalance or health risk, the various neurochemicals  involved in stress activation, such as adrenaline, are not agents we want regularly circulating at elevated levels in our bodies if we can avoid it, due to their significant negative health effects when sustained. These stress effects include elevated blood pressure, reduced immune functioning, metabolic and hormonal imbalances, compromised tissue quality and pre-mature aging, anxiety and excitability, and reduced cognitive functioning. Perhaps we have your attention!

To put chronically elevated modern-day stress in perspective and set up a discussion of what our optimal or natural stress management goals should be, let’s consider for a moment stress in pre-civilized, hunter-gatherer life – the setting in which we lived and evolved for millions of years. As you might imagine and as many studies of contemporary hunter-gatherers have shown, this life was marked by periodic but not chronic stress (except during periods of ecological imbalance and hardship).

We might have had momentary stress during hunting or the defense of our native band from aggressors, and perhaps slightly more protracted stress during periods of personal or social discord within our bands. Otherwise, however, life in nature at the top of the food chain was pretty good overall and people appear to have typically lived without the chronic stress and disaffection we experience so frequently today (even as this natural life was much more perilous and shorter).

This thinking about our earlier patterns of human stress prove enormously instructive in thinking about optimal stress amounts today. They correctly predict that we are not well adapted for stress above this amount and will progressively succumb to it amid modern life.

Zero-Tolerance of Chronic Stress

With this health-critical idea in mind – that we did not normally experience chronic stress in nature and thus are not evolved to live amidst it today – we’d like to propose a fairly radical but likely personally transformative goal for your stress management efforts: you should aspire to live in a way where significant stress is not a regular part of your life and surroundings.

Yes, we know this goal may initially strike you as unrealistic, since many of us have become accustomed to the idea that ongoing stress and negative experiences more generally are a part of human life. But it doesn’t have to be this way. We don’t have to live with ongoing stress, and ideally shouldn’t and realistically needn’t in the modern world, if we are health-centered and focused on true quality of life.

And yes, we know that most stress advice today involves reducing chronic stress rather than eliminating it. But as we have pointed out, these well-intended but ultimately too tepid efforts are simply not working on a large-scale and producing the health learning and life improvements that can come from the sustained elimination of chronic modern stress. With a status quo or piecemeal approach to stress, we all will continue to pay enormous health and quality of life costs, in our lives and across our society.

So, remembering that we are all still at the top of the food chain and keeping in mind that some of us already live modern lives without significant stress, the goal of little or no stress it is!

Managing & Then Eliminating Stress

In practice, managing or wrestling chronic stress down to near-zero levels involves three progressive or increasing steps: 1) Learning to break away from incessant or overwhelming stress, 2) Getting perspective on our long-term stress by examining its causes, and 3) Altering our life in a progressively health-seeking or health-centered way until stress becomes not just managed, but largely absent and only episodic.

Modern stress experts have done a good job at devising strategies for the first step, but often ignore or fail to take on the health-critical second and third ones. They, like many of us, often assume that chronic stress is a natural part of life. But non-intermittent stress wasn’t a part of earlier life and needn’t be today, in the developed world at least, as many relatively stress-free people remind us. In the HumanaNatura natural health system, the goal of breaking away from stress underlies the key practices within our Natural Eating and Natural Exercise techniques, which combine to encourage intentional self-care and health-focused time away from our regular life. If you would like more help in taking an immediate break from too much stress in your life, a great list of ideas is available at Stress Relievers.

Next comes the perhaps less urgent but ultimately more important steps of examining our stress and taking long-term actions to systemically make it go away. Action on these goals can involve changing our outlook, changing our life, or changing both – and are in the domain of HumanaNatura health techniques of Natural Living and Natural Communities. Since the causes of stress are common to us all but their solution can be far more individualized, we will offer only general guidelines here, while encouraging you to take up the HumanaNatura challenge of a health-centered and stress-free modern life, using our natural health techniques to achieve this essential aspect and clear sign of a naturally healthy modern life.

If you are experiencing high or protracted stress, start by developing healthy “stress break” techniques until they begin to give you real relief from the stress you feel and face. Start with a goal of an hour of relatively worry-free time each day, whether via natural eating and exercise, time outside your regular environment, time with healthy friends, or using the other healthy stress relievers we’ve provided. But definitely not in unhealthy and all too common stress escapes – including drugs, alcohol, and denial. As you improve your stress breaking capacity, work for at least two hours without stress each day and toward the goal of being able to sleep the night without worry, once again through the healthy stress relief techniques we have discussed.

When you are ready to go after greater perspective and definitive long-term action on your chronic stress, start with a list of 1) the five most stressful things in your life (the key triggers of our stress – this is usually fairly easy), and 2) the things that ultimately cause these things to be in your life in the first place (the root causes of our stress – this part can take time). Importantly, the causes of chronic stress can be physical (an unsafe environment), interpersonal (ongoing conflict in key relationships), or psychological (the beliefs we bring to life). Many stress programs today focus on the psychological aspects of stress. While important, this approach greatly limits our potential range of action and ability to achieve or create a modern natural life without unhealthy stress.

Next, pick one item from your list (perhaps starting small) and create a plan to make the stress and underlying stressor go away completely – as close to 100% as you can get. You may have to be creative in this process and should keep all options open, except those that are likely to increase stress elsewhere in your life. When you have made progress, go through this process again – creating a new top five “triggers and causes” list and taking on one new item – and make the new item go away completely (and ideally quickly, for both sustained and increasing progress and progressive learning and health).

In this way, you can begin to make significant and ever-advancing strides toward new, stress-free, and far healthier modern life. Don’t stop! Change your life, change your work, change your location if you need to. Make health-centered and largely stress-free life your goal and your means to new health and life. Use it as a measure or proxy for the overall natural health and quality of your life. Sustain and build on your gains, and you might be surprised at the life you can soon create for yourself, once you put your natural health first and let other things fall in line behind this essential aspect of mastering modern natural life.

Let’s begin a recap of recent cancer news by highlighting a new and quite extensive study of factors leading to common cancers that was recently published in the British Journal of Cancer (BJC). It concluded that readily alterable lifestyle choices accounted for over 40% of cancers in the UK, prompting calls there for urgent public action. These high-risk factors include: 1) smoking, 2) being overweight, 3) an unnatural absence of fruits and vegetables from our diet, 4) excessive alcohol consumption, and 5) immoderate sun and UV exposure. These new findings build on prior research showing that inadequate exercise also can be an important direct and indirect (especially by influencing body weight) lifestyle risk factor for cancer.

There’s more. The BJC published another new cancer study, this one based on research conducted by the Karolinska Institute in Sweden. Its findings were consistent with widespread and still growing research linking red meat and processed meats to increased cancers. The new study specifically suggested an almost 20% increased risk of deadly pancreatic cancer for each 50 grams (2 ounces) of processed meat consumed each day.

In addition to this more definitive cancer prevention guidance, Sharon Begley’s recent article, Could This Be The End of Cancer, is especially notable and newsworthy. In it, Begley summarizes promising, even startling early results from current clinical trials of new cancer vaccine therapies. Unlike traditional vaccines that prevent viral infections, the new cancer vaccines are instead used to trigger the body to attack cancers that have already formed.

The emerging cancer vaccines do this in a way similar to vaccines generally, by introducing an antigen that elicits an immune system response. But in this case, instead of a marker or weakened version of a target virus, the antigen is a surface molecule unique to the developing cancer, which in theory can cause the body to produce antibodies that will steadily defeat the cancer. You can review Begley’s excellent synopsis to learn more about the technique and the impressive initial clinical results.

So, do you want to take proven steps to greatly reduce your cancer risk, while we all wait to see if vaccine-based cancer therapies will be a medical breakthrough and work as well as some hope? You can address the majority of your most important lifestyle-related cancer risks through two simple and science-based HumanaNatura health techniques, Natural Eating and Natural Exercise. And you also can tackle deeper health risks and pursue waiting quality of life opportunities through HumanaNatura’s other two techniques, Natural Living and Natural Communities.

All four techniques are part of HumanaNatura’s comprehensive natural health system and are explained in detail in our complete and naturally open-ended Personal Health Program.

Rethinking adolescence

Gopnik’s simple but elegant distillation of developmental psychology’s current assessment of early 21st century adolescence first appeared as a submission to Edge.org and now has been re-printed by The Wall Street Journal in an expanded form, which we find the more valuable of the two.

She begins by framing the topic via three key trends of adolescent life in our time:

• Adolescence is beginning earlier – for reasons that are not entirely clear (we would propose that fat and sugar-rich diets may be a factor – signalling to our naturally evolved bodies to reproduce sooner)
• Adolescence is lasting longer – in the form of a new, extended period of pre-adulthood (think twenty-somethings living at home), a developmental phase that is without precedent in earlier natural and agricultural life (when adulthood would have commenced within at most a few years of puberty)
• Adolescence is getting stranger – the critical and often under-appreciated point that adolescence is not just getting longer, but now is marked by supernormal (hyper-natural) aimlessness, impulsiveness, and dysfunction (the latter we would define as the unnatural under-development of adult goals and reliable action toward them)

Though not included in Gopnik’s discussion, we might add that her third characterization of modern adolescence appears to apply to people of many ages today, and aptly describing modern “affluenza,” with important lessons for adults and social policy.

Causes & opportunities

More importantly, Gopnik links each of these modern-day developments to specific findings from neurological and developmental science – synthesizing key nature and nurture considerations and providing a larger interdisciplinary view that is insightful, predictive, and actionable. Her central conclusions include:

• Adolescence activates – hardly a surprise, but here activation refers more than to our sexuality and transition to adult form. It includes new brain stimulation and cognitive patterns that are not well-appreciated yet – patterns that are not found in either younger children or mature adults. This critical “adolescent only” mode of brain activation encourages not only the drive for sex, but a number of other fertility-related natural behaviors, including risk-taking, status-seeking, peer-imprinting, and parental aversion.
• Adolescent brains require tuning – the activated adolescent brain of course has been a part of human life for as long as there have been humans, and even before, but this period of activation was far shorter, more bounded, and healthier in nature than it is today. Why? Gopnik reminds us that we are more than our genes and anatomy, and that our child and adolescent brains need the tuning of natural experience and nurturing social life if they are develop and become shaped correctly for adaptive and happy adult life. Take away these essential experiences, or substitute less than optimal ones for them, and adolescent brain development is likely become limited or delayed. Gopnik proposes that we are seeing both effects now.
• Adolescents need healthy structure – though not mentioned specifically by Gopnik, past developmental research has suggested that child and adolescent cultivation is best achieved between the extremes of authoritarian and permissive environments – that we develop best in what some psychologists call an authoritative setting. Such settings provide norms and structure, nurturing and guidance, and encouragement of growth and the autonomous formation of adult goals and commitments. Consistent with this important model of human development, Gopnik encourages the augmentation of modern school learning, and the replacement of excessive amounts of unstructured time, with practical and vocational instruction that can help adolescents tune their brains and enter modern adulthood more reliably, naturally, and affirmatively.

With these ideas in mind, Gopnik invites us to consider several common assumptions and approaches to modern adolescence that are likely to hinder rather than help healthy natural development. She also includes new (and old) ideas to use in their place to encourage our steady movement through this developmental phase to the achievement of autonomous modern adulthood.

Whether you are a parent, educator, adolescent, community leader, or just someone who cares about or is affected by adolescents (which is all of us), we would encourage you to read through Gopnik’s excellent and useful article at What’s Wrong With the Teenage Mind.
