How stress affects your body

压力如何影响你的身体

Cramming for a test? Trying to get more done than you have time to
do? Stress is a feeling we all experience when we are challenged or
overwhelmed.

正在为考试突击填鸭背诵？尝试在有限的时间内完成更 多的事
儿？当面临挑战或感到无助时，
我们可以清晰的感受到压力的存
在。

But
more
than
just
an
emotion,
stress
is
a
hardwired
physical
response that travels throughout your entire body. In the short term,
stress
can
be
advantageous,
but
when
activated
too
often
or
too
long, your primitive fight or flight stress response not only changes
your
brain
but
also
damages
many
of
the
other
organs
and
cells
throughout your body.

但压力不仅仅是一种情绪，
它还是一种穿行在我们体内的身体反
应，就像电路板上的电流那样。短期来看，压力有着积极作用；< br>但是当压力出现的过于频繁，持续的过长时，它产生的反应，不
仅仅会影响到你的大脑，还会对你 全身的器官与细胞造成伤害。

Your
adrenal
gland
releases
the
stress
hormones
cortisol,
epinephrine,
also
known
as
adrenaline,
and
norepinephrine.
As
these hormones travel through your blood stream, they easily reach
your blood vessels and heart.

你的肾 上腺会释放压力荷尔蒙皮质醇，
肾上腺素，
以及去甲肾上
腺素。
所有的这些激 素在你的血液系统中穿行着，
它们可以轻易
的到达你的血管和心脏。

Adrenaline
causes your
heart
to
beat faster
and
raises your
blood
pressure,
over
time
causing
hypertension.
Cortisol
can
also
cause
the
endothelium,
or
inner
lining
of
blood
vessels,
to
not
function
normally.

肾上腺素会使你的心跳加速、
血压升高，
时间长了还会引发高血
压。
压力荷尔 蒙皮质醇会令你的内循环或血管中的内覆组织无法
正常运行。

Scientists
now
know
that
this
is
an
early
step
in
triggering
the
process
of
atherosclerosis
or
cholesterol
plaque
build
up
in
your
arteries. Together, these changes increase your chances of a heart
attack or stroke.

如今，
科学家发现这些还是产生动脉硬化以及胆固醇斑块化的早< br>期诱因。同时，它们还会增加心脏病或中风的患病几率。

When your brain senses stress, it activates your autonomic nervous
system. Through this network of nerve connections, your big brain
communicates stress to your enteric, or intestinal nervous system.

当你的大脑感受到压力时，
它会激活你的自主神经系统。
通过这
个系统中神经纤维间的联系，
你的大脑向你的肠道，
或者说肠神
经系统 传递了压力的信号。

Besides
causing
butterflies
in
your
stomach,
this
brain
-
gut
connection can disturb the natural rhythmic contractions that move
food through your gut, leading to irritable bowel syndrome, and can
increase your gut sensitivity to acid, making you more likely to feel
heartburn.

除了会令你紧张外（肠胃颤动）
，这个 大脑与肠胃之间的联系还
会打断有节奏的肠胃收缩（正是这种收缩帮助食物蠕动进了胃
里，）
导致肠道易激综合症；
同时使你更容易患上胃酸、
胃灼热。

Via
the
gut's
nervous
system,
stress
can
also
change
the
composition
and
function
of
your
gut
bacteria,
which
may
affect
your
digestive
and
overall
health.
Speaking
of
digestion,
does
chronic stress affect your waistline? Well, yes.

通过肠神经系统，
压力 还会改变肠道细菌的成分和功能，
而这可
能会使你消化不良，
甚至影响你整个身体的健 康。
说到消化功能，
那么长期的处于压力之中会否使人变胖呢？答案是肯定的。

Cortisol
can increase
your
appetite.
It tells your
body
to
replenish
your energy stores with energy dense foods and carbs, causing you
to crave comfort foods. High levels of cortisol can also cause you to
put on those extra calories as visceral or deep belly fat.

肾上腺皮质醇会增加你的食欲 。
它会向身体释放饥饿信号，
进而
促使你去进食大量的高能量食物和碳水化合物来补充 能量储存。
肾上腺皮质醇甚至可以释放更高级的信号，
让身体将多余的卡路
