How About a New Emotional Lifestyle for 2006?
We tend to think of feeling angry as being caused by rude
drivers, people we don't like, or 100 degree temperatures; that
being sad is the result of losing something we had or not having
something we wanted; and that feeling good is caused by kind
people, successful projects, or ice cream cones.
When we're working on our emotional intelligence we work on our
self-talk and attributional style (optimism), our communication
skills, empathy, and managing emotions, and it's good to
remember that we also live in a body which is made up of
chemicals, an internal environment that also affects our
emotional state. Let's face it, your less apt to get angry when
you're well-rested, eating well, exercising, and not being
irritated by toxic cosmetics, lotions and perfumes.
It is believed that our feelings are regulated by
neurotransmitters such as serotonin, norepinephrine, and
dopamine. Serotonin is most often called the "feel good"
neurotransmitter.
Here are some things to know about this important mood
regulator.
1.Restoring levels of serotonin in the body relieves symptoms of
depression and anxiety.
2. Vitamin B6 and magnesium can elevate serotonin. Source: Dr.
Allan D. Lieberman, M.D., FAAEM
3. Seratonin receptors decrease significantly with age - up to
55%. Source: Research reported by Carolyn Meltzer, M.D.,
Assistant Professor of Radiology and Psychiatry, U. of
Pittsburgh.
4. Foods high in serotonin are bananas, pumpkin seeds, peanuts,
tomatoes, plums, avocados, pineapples, eggplant and walnuts.
Source: Roger L. Gould, M.D., U.C.L.A.
5. Anti-depressants work with the serotonin you produce; they
don't produce it. Your body produces serotonin through
L-tryptophan. L-Tryptophan is present in pork, duck and turkey
-- maybe this is one reason we love Thanksgiving so much!
6. Research indicates that low levels of serotonin in the brain
can lead to underlying inability to handle powerful feelings
which can result in impulsive acts, aggressive behaviors, poor
judgment, and self-destructive tendencies.
According to the Society for Neuroscience, in experiments,
monkeys with less serotonin are the ones who take daring jumps
from the trees and injure themselves. Rats low in serotonin do
risky things in experiments, and also accept small immediate
rewards instead of waiting for a bigger prize.
7. Serotonin can also be enhanced by talk therapy and by aerobic
exercise such as jogging or dance. Source: Harvard psychiatrist
Joseph Glenmullen, author of "Prozac Backlash."
(www.discover.com)
8. Touch increases serotonin during massage and decreases pain
levels, improves sleep patterns, decreases fatigue, anxiety,
depression, and cortisol levels in fibromyalgia patients. (And
maybe in you as well?) International Journal of Neurology 84
(1996):205-217; Journal of Clinical
Rheumatology 2 (1996):18-22;
International Journal of Neuroscience 86 (1996):197-205 cited @
http://www.healingartsreport.com .
9. Some physicians believe increased light can affect serotonin
levels positively (source: Carol E. Watkins, M.D.,
psychiatrist).
Norman E. Rosenthal, M.D., Chief, Section on Environmental
Psychiatry, National Institute of Mental Health, feels that in
this regard, intensity of the light is the most critical
variable, not spectrum.
However full-spectrum light used in the poultry industry causes
chickens to live twice as long, be calmer and less aggressive,
and produce eggs 25% lower in cholesterol. Apparently, even
human cholesterol levels drop when people are exposed to
sunlight.
Non-full-spectrum lighting, which is often used in work places,
has been shown to create hormones ACTH and cortisol in levels
considered stressful.
10. In sum, part of emotional self-awareness means becoming
aware of what physical factors innate to you enhance your mood -
the foods you eat, the chemicals you put into your body, the
exercise you get or don't get, and your surroundings.
Some people believe that being around (looking at) water (ocean,
river, stream, swimming pool) enhances serotonin. The captain on
the Royal Caribbean line ends each cruise saying that research
has proven cruises to be beneficial to your health. There sure
are a lot of people out staring at the water from horizon to
horizon. It could, however, also be what they're not seeing.
11. Last but not least, our health effects our emotions, which
in turn effect our immune system which is out health. Besides
supporting your serotonin levels, you can bolster your immune
system by neutraceuticals. Products such as Arbonne's Get Well
Soon Dietary Supplement ( http://susandunn.myarbonne.com ) are
scientifically proven to nutritionally support the immune
system. Our immune system is our FIRST line of defense against
bacteria (such as pneumonia), and our ONLY line of defense
against viruses (such as flu and bird flu). Their cosmetics,
lotions, shaving cream, hormone replacements, and baby products
also support your health because they are made of pure natural
ingredients, and are non-allergenic and odor free. This is
crucial because what you put on your skin (and your baby's skin)
is absorbed into the bloodstream. Products containing mineral
oil, for instance, clog pores so our skin can't "breathe."
Living a healthy life requires a balanced lifestyle and a
balanced brain.
