"Are you experiencing Burnout?" asks Boy Million.  Is your burnout caused by stress?  Boy Million invites you to read today's post to determine if stress is the cause of you feelings of burnout.

Herbert Freudenberger first used "Burnout" as a term in 1974.  In his book he states that burnout is the extinction of motivation or incentive, especially where one's devotion to a cause or relationship fails to produce the wanted results.  There is a likeness between burnout and three other psychological conditions.  Depression, anxiety disorders, and mood disorders have similar features as burnout.  Burnout is not a clinically diagnosed psychological disorder.

Burnout is common and is especially found in practicing doctors.  Burnout can vary in intensity and duration and is caused by stressors.  It is not caused by a chemical imbalance   Burnout is considered to be the less severe form of depression, anxiety and mood disorders. 

The symptoms of burnout include exhaustion, both physical and emotional, lowered immune system, withdrawal from personal relationships, and increased absence from work. In looking at some of the symptoms of burnout you will see the close relationship it has to stress.

Prolonged stress can cause you to feel tired much of the time.  Even getting out of bed is a strain because you don’t have the energy you once had.  Emotional exhaustion is another part of burnout.  Your mood swings wildly, sometimes you feel sad for no reason, and you're impatient, moody and get frustrated easily.  You might often find you can't deal with life as you did before. 

When a person experiences burnout, they may have less resistance to disease.  Their immune system suffers from prolonged bouts of stress.  You may start suffering from more colds or the flu and other minor illnesses.  You may also find you are more prone to more serious illnesses as well.

You also do not allow anyone to be close to you.  You withdraw from personal relationships because you feel you have less to give.  You lose interest in having fun and you lose patience with people.  People who are experiencing burnout will see it affect their personal relationships.

Burnout also causes you to look at life with a pessimistic outlook.  You don’t get excited about those things that used to excite you and it is hard to see anything positive in life.  Little things that wouldn’t have affected you before now weigh you down.  You have a harder time getting out of a rut or routine.

All listed symptoms eventually lead to increased absenteeism and being less productive when you are at work.  You may get up in the morning and feel reluctant to go to work.  You may find that you are staying at home more often because you simply can't face the work situation.  Workers should be aware of the stress of burnout and employers should not push their workers until they can’t go any more.  Both need to understand the importance of leisure time, less stress, and lighter duties.  These can benefit the worker as well as the employers.

Burnout caused by stress can be controlled.  You need to work with your employer to find ways of reducing stress in the workplace.  It will profit both to find ways of reducing stress in the workplace.

Thank you for reading my blog and I wish you healthy stress free life.

Boy Million will tell you every person will experience stress during his or her lifetime.  Stress is defined as something that overwhelms our capacity to cope with the event.  In a recent survey, 89 percent of those who responded believed they have experienced serious stress during their life. 

Many conditions affect the way we react to stress and increase our susceptibility to it.  Personality, early childhood experiences, genetic traits, and diseases such as arthritis and eczema can affect the way we deal with stress. 

Boy Million has learned that events in our early childhood may cause long-term damage to our ability to cope with stress.  The hypothalamus-pituitary system regulates stress and it can be damaged by childhood abuse and affect the way we cope with stress.  If a child is raised in an atmosphere of constant stress and anxiety, they are more at risk of stress-related diseases.

Fears and anxieties from early childhood can carry through to our adult life and cause us to respond to events that may not affect someone who has had a calm, peaceful childhood.

Increased susceptibility can come from personality traits we are born with.  We may over-respond to certain stressful events.  A genetic abnormality can cause us to react to stress because of an abnormal serotonin regulation.  Serotonin is a brain chemical that regulates our feeling of comfort.  Serotonin production gives us a feeling of happiness and chases away the negative feelings.  When serotonin production is reduced, the brain will respond faster to anything seen as a threat to our health or safety.

Individuals who have a higher risk are young adults, working mothers and women in general, the unemployed, city dwellers, and people who live isolated lives.  People who are discriminated against because of their race or sex also are at higher risk.  The unemployed individuals, the widows or widowers, divorced men and women, and those living without satisfactory health insurance are also at high risk of stress related diseases. 

Many things will contribute to our risk of developing stress related problems.  Children may have lower stress hormones if they have been loved and nurtured by their parents.  Depression within the immediate family is powerful stressors that can affect stress levels in children and will carry through into adulthood.  Both boys and young women have equal amounts of stress but the sources may vary for each one.  Young women are more prone to be stressed about personal relationships and are more likely to lead to depression.  Boys react to poor grades, changing schools, or the loss of a father figure in their lives. 

Another group who are at high risk for stress related conditions are those who are caregivers of sick family members.  Combining care giving with a limited income, living alone with the patient, and having a difficult relationship with the patient, and the risks proportionately go up.  Caregivers have a range of stress-related problems including lowered immunity, heart disease, and depression.  Studies show that wives suffer more from stress in caring for a loved one than husbands.

Thank you for reading my blog and I wish you healthy stress free life.

Everyone has stress, which is why we need techniques that can reduce stress in our life.  Learning methods of relaxation are important to lower blood pressure, respiration, and pulse rates.  Relaxation allows muscles to release tension and eases emotional stress.  One technique will not work for everyone.  You will need to find the combination of stress reducing relaxation techniques that work best for you. 

Why not try a combination of yoga, massage, and progressive muscle relaxation?  Not one of these methods would be enough to reduce stress alone, but as a combination can be effective in reducing stress.  It is unreasonable to think that stress reducing relaxation techniques can give you total relief from stress.  It can help with stress levels if done on a regular basis. 

There are several relaxation techniques that have proved effective in reducing stress hormone levels.  Deep breathing is effective in releasing stress and keeping you stress free throughout the day.  You automatically take a deep breath after a stressful event because during the time of the stress you have taken short and shallow breaths.  Once the event is over, your body reacts by taking a long deep breath to release tension.  Using deep breathing techniques can help you during a stressful event and for staying calm throughout the day.

If you make a habit of making this breathing technique a part of your day, even if you aren’t stressed, you will find it useful.  Take a deep breath inhaling through the nose slowly and deeply counting to ten as you inhale.  Be sure your stomach and abdomen are expanding and you are not using your chest to inhale.  Relax; exhale the breath through the nose slowly until your breath is gone. Count to ten as you release your breath. 

While you are doing breathing techniques, concentrate solely on your breathing and counting through the cycle.  Repeat this exercise five to ten times and make it a habit to do this exercise several times during the day, even if you are not feeling stressed.

Another useful technique is total muscle relaxation.  They are simple to learn and can be helpful in relaxing your body enough to go to sleep.  The more practice you have, the easier it is to master this relaxation method and you will go through the technique faster.

Lie down in a comfortable position without crossing your arms or legs.  Think and concentrate on each part of the body.  Use a slow, deep breathing pattern while you are doing this exercise.  Beginning with the top of the head, concentrate tensing each muscle as tightly as possible.  Count to ten and then release the tension.  You should be able to feel the muscles relax and it will feel heavy.  Continue down the body and focus on each muscle all the way down to your toes.

These two exercised combined can be a powerful tool to rid your body of stress.  Try them and see if they help you!  You may find you sleep better and enjoy more out of life.

 Thank you for reading my blog and I wish you healthy stress free life in the New Year.

It is important for you to understand stress and how it affects the heart. As we begin this New Year, Boy Million recommends each of us need to make a serious New Year’s Resolution to live a healthier life style by reducing the stress in our lives eat properly and exercising.  

Doctors know that physical stress can harm the heart.  Studies suggest that mental stress is also a trigger for angina pain, heart attacks, and abnormal heart arrhythmias.  Stress is a major cause of serious heart related problems.  Sudden death may be a result of consistent stress. 

How does stress affect the heart?  Sudden stress can cause the heart to pump faster and arteries constrict, blocking the flow of blood to the heart.  Those people who already have a problem with heart rhythm can experience serious problems with heart rhythms because of emotional stress.  Irregular heart rhythms can cause rapidly changing heart patterns and other serious heart problems.

Stress also makes the blood stickier, maybe in response to the threat of a potential threat of physical harm.  This increases the chances of an artery being clogged because of a blood clot. 

Stress can give you heart pains.  You may find yourself in the emergency room with heart attack symptoms and it may be a stress or anxiety attack.  It is a relief to find out you do not have serious heart problems, but a stress in itself just being in the cardiac care unit for observation.  You will normally be watched for up to 24 hours to insure you do not have any other complications.  If you experience any tightness in the chest or chest pain, a doctor should see you.  It may turn out to be a panic or stress attack, but it could mean you have other more serious heart problems.

Stress may also tell the body to release more fat into the bloodstream.  This will temporarily raise blood cholesterol levels.  It may also reduce the estrogen level in women.  Estrogen is essential for a woman’s heart health.

Stress may also reduce levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin.  This may affect men and women who are at higher risk of depression and anger.  It causes the immune system to produce cytokines, a protein that causes inflammation and damage to the body’s cells, including the heart cells.  Reduced amounts of serotonin cause depressive episodes, anger, and anxiety or panic.

Studies recently completed confirm the connection between stress and high blood pressure.  If you have mental stress that regularly increases your blood pressure, you may have injuries to the inner linings of the blood vessels.  Those patients who were at the highest level of the stress scale were twice as likely to develop high blood pressure.  Men seem to be affected the most, but women with continuous stress also had high blood pressure problems.

Stress is an important part of your physical and emotional health.  If you are able to reduce your stress level, you will increase your chances of living a longer and healthier life.  Report to your doctor any inability to control the stress level in your life.  He has ways of helping you cope and handle stress.  He may prescribe a drug that will help you get through the crisis, or tell you other ways to reduce stress.  Don’t be complacent.  Stress can be a killer!

Thank you for reading my blog and I wish you healthy stress free life in the New Year.

With us now celebrating the Holidays, many of us are feeling greater stress as we hurry to find the right gifts or endure travel to enjoy the warm company of family and friends. Boy Million recommends that we take time to reduce our stress because it can take a definite toll upon a health life and relationships. Most of us will most likely over indulge in eating and will not exercise properly during this Holiday time, thus adding to our stress level. Boy Million offers this advice for the beginning of the New Year.  Make a commitment to enjoy a healthy life style by reducing stress.

A healthy diet and physical exercise is vital to any stress reducing program.  Let’s take a look at the effect of a healthy diet on stress.  By eating foods that are nutritious and yet low in fat and sugar is essential in keeping a healthy balance in your life.  Avoiding foods that are high in sugar, reducing caffeine you are taking in, and eating plenty of foods that contain fiber, your body will be better equipped to handle stress.

Avoid smoking and alcohol as that causes excess stress.  Caffeine and nicotine act as a stimulant and you will be less able to handle the stressful situations that enter your life.  The chemicals involved in smoking and drinking will cause nervousness and jittery feelings.  These will work against any tries to remain calm and handle stress.

Another important part of reducing stress with a healthy lifestyle is getting plenty of physical exercise.  Studies have already proven that employees who take part in an exercise program are more productive and have fewer problems with sick and disability days.  Exercise distracts you from possible stressful situations.  What is even more important, exercise strengthens your heart and increases your circulation so your body is able to control any stressful situations.  When you have been exercising, your muscles, ligaments, bones, and joints are more flexible. 

You may have started on an exercise program but didn’t continue with it.  Do you know why?  You probably became bored because you were doing the same exercise every day.  The exercise program that succeeds is the program that has variety and is interesting.  If you enjoy the exercise you are getting, you will be more likely to continue.

Start slowly.  People will sometimes give up on an exercise program because they start out with a program that is too strenuous.  After the first day, their muscles are stiff and sore and the exercise program is abandoned.   Starting slow and building up to a longer and more advanced program will keep you interested.  Studies show that someone who starts a vigorous training program will drop out within a year.  The key is to find something that is interesting, challenging, and satisfying.

You may want to sign up for aerobics or yoga classes at a local gym.  Even if you don’t want to join a gym, brisk walking is an excellent source of exercise and you can do that all year long.  If your area of the country gets cold, many local malls open their doors early for walkers to walk out of the weather. 

Swimming is also a good form of exercise, especially for pregnant women or those who have other muscular or bone problems.  Swimming is also good for those who suffer from asthma after physical exercise. 

Another good form of stress management is yoga or Tai Chi. The benefits of these ancient forms of exercise combine stretching, breathing and muscle relaxation.  Yoga has been found to be effective in treating conditions that are caused by stress such as anxiety headaches, high blood pressure, and asthma.

Thank you for reading my blog and I wish you healthy stress free life in the New Year.

You already know you have stress in your life. You know that it is harming your physical and emotional health, what do you do about it? The general guideline for treating stress may be found in the Serenity Prayer. "Grant me the courage to change the things I can change, the serenity to accept the things I can’t change, and the wisdom to know the difference."

Learning to control stress is a lifelong learning process. Boy Million has learned controlling stress will contribute to better physical health and help you meet your goals. What do you do when you find you are unable to cope with stress on your own? You may have already tried over-the-counter cures for stress related physical problems. Headaches can be treated with ibuprofen, acetaminophen, or aspirin. Stomach upsets can be treated with anti-gas aids, anti-diarrhea medications, or mild laxatives. Over-the-counter treatments may work for the short-term, but you will probably find you will need a method that will reduce stress over the long-term. A health care professional should treat any symptoms that are out of the ordinary, wake you in the night, or get worse. A mental health professional should treat acute stress, depression, and severe anxiety.

Each treatment must be designed for the individual. A treatment that works for one may not work for another person. Normally, a combination of approaches to stress is recommended. Relaxation therapy, exercise, and changing your diet may be a key to easing stress and stress-related conditions.

A doctor should be consulted if physical problems are severe or if there are any other symptoms of depression or anxiety. Reducing stress guidelines are tailored to each individual. Stress may be so much a part of the patient’s life; it may take a trained therapist to find where the stress came from and the methods to treat it.

Most mental health professionals will use a combined therapy approach to reducing stress. You may need to remove yourself from the stressful situation. It may mean changing jobs or careers or moving out of an abusive relationship. If you want to control stress, you have to be willing to do whatever is necessary to start you on the road to recovery.

A therapist can help you see the entire picture and help you find ways to relieve stress in your situation. Relaxation methods, positive imagery, and self-hypnosis can be used to relieve the stress in your mind. Being physically active can help reduce stress. Your therapist can tell you if physical exercise will help ease the stress in your life. They may recommend an exercise program such as joining a gym, beginning a yoga class, or maybe just walking in your neighborhood. Physical exercise can also help with weight problems, self-esteem, and other medical health problems.

Your guidelines to reducing stress are as individual as you. What works for one, won’t always work for another patient. You and your medical professional can decide what therapy you need to control the stress in your life.

I have found a way to reduce my stress about getting traffic to my websites. I urge you to go take a look at a new project which is call Boy Million, and see for yourself what a great and unique value it is.  Please stop by my blog again soon and I will tell you more about what to expect from Boy Million now and in the months and years to come.  For now, go grab yourself a five dollar link and hundreds of dollars worth of free goodies.

 Thanks for reading,

Do you crave that perfect summer tan? Do you long for a healthy glow, but want to avoid hours spent baking in the sun? Many people will go to great lengths to achieve a nice tan, but sometimes this means putting their health at risk. Most people are aware of the dangers of prolonged exposure to the sun. Perhaps you've heard the frightening statistics that skin cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer. It's true: some dermatologists even argue that the skin cancer rates in this country constitute and undeclared epidemic.

Many choose to avoid the dangers of direct sunlight by heading to the tanning salon and seeking the comfort of sunlamps. But are sunlamps really that safe?

The short answer is no: sunlamps are not as safe as you may think. Like the sun, sunlamps also emit ultraviolet radiation. Sunlamps emit both UVA and UVB radiation, both of which are harmful to your skin health and safety. Even though sunlamps do not emit "true" sunlight, they still add to the overall ultraviolet radiation that your skin absorbs. Thus, even if you are not baking on the beach for hours, it is still possible to develop skin cancer simply through the use of sunlamps. Increased exposure to UVA and UVB radiation has also been linked to premature skin aging, photo aging, eye damage (including vision problems and cataracts), allergic reactions, blood vessel damage, and skin burns.

Should you stop using sunlamps altogether? Ideally, yes you should stop using sunlamps. If you feel strongly that you would like to continue to use sunlamps, make sure to take the proper precautions every time you use these machines. First, make certain that the sunlamp machine you use has achieved the FDA's radiation safety performance standard. Inspect the machine for a warning label, a working timer, and an emergency stop control button or lever. Also, you should always be provided with the appropriate protective eyewear and an exposure schedule. Finally, avoid using sunlamps on a regular basis. Don't depend on these potentially dangerous machines to maintain your tan. Seek out alternatives to sunlamps, such as tanning creams and self-tanning lotions. These are safe and inexpensive alternatives to tanning and sunlamps.

Although they are not recommended for anyone, certain individuals should avoid the use of sunlamps altogether. You should never use sunlamps or other tanning machines if you have a history of sun burning or blistering easily. If you have trouble tanning under the sun, chances are that sunlamps will not help you tan either. Also, never use sunlamps or other tanning devices if you are prone to developing cold sores, or if you have any skin lesions or nodules. If you are under medication, make sure to check with your doctor before heading to the tanning salon. Many medications cause increased light sensitivity, and sitting under a sunlamp could cause serious complications.

With the exception of sunless tanning lotions and self-tanning creams, there really is no such thing as a safe tan. This includes the use of sunlamps and other common tanning devices. Always opt for the safest choice—your skin will thank you for it.

It has been a long-standing bit of conventional wisdom that the fair-haired and light-skinned among us are more prone to sun burn and skin cancer. It's true that blondes and redheads are more likely to sunburn. Scientists have long thought that the reason why fair-skinned people burn more easily was because their skin naturally lacks pigment. But it appears that skin tone has less to do with skin cancer than was previously thought. Dr. Douglas Brash, a Yale professor of radiology and dermatology, has conducted several studies that have revealed a surprising revelation: it appears that hair color is a better indicator of whether a person will get skin cancer or not than skin tone.

According to Dr. Brash's research, it appears that the same melanin that causes a person to have blonde or red hair may also be responsible for the melanin that causes cell death. This melanin is known as pheomelanin. Dark-haired individuals have a different kind of melanin, known as eumalin. So why is this distinction so important? It helps to learn about the important role that melanin plays in our skin and body. Melanin is responsible for filtering the ultraviolet radiation that we absorb through our skin whenever the sun shines over us. UV rays are very powerful. Overexposure to the sun's UV rays causes age spots, wrinkles, leathery texture, and other signs of premature aging. Although melanin filters the UV rays, it somewhat contradictorily also causes cell death and other harmful effects related to sun damage.

Dr. Brash's studied laboratory mice that were genetically engineered to be blonde, dark-haired, or albino. All the mice were exposed to UV radiation to a degree that is comparable to what human beings are exposed to on a regular basis. The blonde mice were found to experience considerably more cell death than the dark-haired mice. The albino mice had no cell death at all. Dr. Brash's research tells us that melatonin, while a necessary function of skin protection, can also be directly linked to cell death.

Dr. Brash's study is groundbreaking because it tells us that the type melatonin a person has can be a co-conspirator in causing skin cancer. Before his study, it was automatically assumed that the real culprit was the skin's lack of pigment. Whether you are prone to sun damage and skin cancers has more to do with whether you have the pheomelanin-type melanin, or whether you have eumalin. That means, even if you have light skin, if you are dark-haired you are less likely to burn and are at a lower risk of developing skin cancer.

If you are fair in hair color, you may be particularly vulnerable to developing skin cancer. Take the necessary precautions to keep your skin healthy, beautiful, and safe. Always wear a sun block before heading outside. Apply liberal amounts of sun block at least thirty minutes before you head outdoors in order to let it absorb into your skin. Choose a sun block that is labeled full-spectrum, and sun protection products that contain zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.

With skin cancer rates climbing and dermatologists declaring an epidemic, medical researchers are seeking new skin savers that can help prevent or reverse the effects of sun damage. Recent research has been uncovering and pointing to new developments, including how the food we consume affects our skin health. Here are the latest developments from the scientific research frontier and what they tell us about how certain foods, and antioxidants in particular, affect our risks for developing skin cancer.

Antioxidants are those much-lauded nutrients that have captured the medical eye. Practicing good sun sense is one of the most important things you can do to protect your body from skin cancer. But it now appears that antioxidants can also give you a big boost. New research indicates that good skin health begins on the inside. Consuming a good amount of antioxidants, including the right kinds of fats and vitamins, can help protect your precious epidermis from sun damage, photo aging, wrinkles, leathery texture, sunburn, and most importantly, skin cancers. That old adage—"you are what you eat"—appears to hold true when it comes to your skin health.

Here are some remarkable new findings from the antioxidant front. Tomatoes, those summer favorites, appear to act as a natural sun block. In a recent study hailing from Germany, it was found that people who consumed tomatoes or tomato paste on a regular basis were found to suffer from 40 per cent less sunburn than people who consumed no tomatoes. In the study, the subjects consumed 1-½ ounces of tomato paste each day for ten weeks. Compared to the subjects who consumed no tomatoes, the former group suffered from considerably less sunburn, although both were exposed to the same amount of UV radiation. Scientists believe that the tomato's remarkable ability to protect against UV rays is because this red fruit is rich in antioxidants, including the highly touted lycopene.

Researchers at the University of Arizona found more startling results after conducting tests with oranges and grapefruits. In their study, researchers were surprised to find that subjects who consumed the orange and grapefruit peels once a week were much less likely to develop squamous skin cancer, one of the most common types of skin cancers. The subjects did not consume the fruit or pulp—just the rind—and cut their chances of developing squamous cell skin cancer by 37 percent. How can this be so? Researchers believe that the strong concentrations of antioxidant d-limonene in the peel of certain citrus fruits serves to protect from certain skin cancers when the oils from the fruit move to the cellular skin level.

Another antioxidant that has been shown to fight skin cancer can be found in your cup of tea. In studies, mice that were fed green and black tea had lower risk of developing skin cancers. The study also showed that caffeinated teas are more effective at preventing skin cancer than non-caffeinated teas. Interestingly, the researchers found that simply rubbing the mice with tea was enough to protect them from the effects of UV radiation.
