The pituitary is the most important gland in the body, a small pea shaped gland situated in a very inaccessible part of the body on the underside of the brain. Taking its orders from the hypothalamus and responsible amongst other things for changes in weight / appetite, water balance and moods. Super sensitive, it is affected by minerals, vitamin deficiencies, drugs, stress and EMOTIONS.
This gland produces a wide variety of hormones all of which are extremely important to the delicate balance of the bodies chemistry. Amongst these vital hormones is the SOMATOTROPHIC hormone, the 8th and 5th, which is an agent which mobilises the bodies defense mechanism against infection.
The thing to remember is that it is the 5th doing its work in fighting the invading virus, that makes you actually feel ill. The important fact I want you to assimilate is that the emotions of despair, dismal, miserable dark eruptions that also produce the 5th stress, with the accompanying feelings of illness similar to those induced by infection. In plain words, being miserable or despondent will make you feel ill, giving you aches, pains, headaches and stomach upsets.
Anyone who insists on having continual negative emotions. and you really DO HAVE A CHOICE, will be subjecting their body to diseases of which the list is long, including high blood pressure, rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerated colitis and even a form of asthma… (usually the most chronic) can be associated with 5TH diseases.
The point we wish to repeat, over and over again, is your own OUTLOOK ON LIFE and the EMOTIONS you produce will drastically effect your health and well being. The antidote to stress diseases is of course to have or develop good emotions which have greater potential for good health than any medicine or drug yet discovered by man, (cortisone, penicillin and other antibiotics are of course indispensable. With all the good will in the world, even good emotions can not cure some illnesses).
The other great antidote to tension and stress diseases is RELAXATION. It is no coincidence that all of the bodybuilding stars who remain consistently at the top have one thing in common. When not training they have a RELAXED and PLACID NATURE! They do not waste or drain their energy reserves with useless worrying or get into emotional problems. Real strong men have learned through experience or been blessed by nature with superb CONTROL of their emotions. Muscle stars of real quality, when away from the gym, completely relax, facing life with a positive attitude, with dedication to training in the gym and mastery of their emotions when away from the weights.
Everyone, even YOU, can in time learn to control and improve your own emotions with enormous benefits to your health and general well being. Rewards include more energy to do the things you enjoy – and cutting down your chances of developing one of the multitude of diseases relating to stress.
Mental training like physical training must be sensible, suitable and practiced in gradual stages until it becomes second nature. What you have to do to give your body the best chance for good health, is to achieve a good balance of optimal hormones. Feeling cheerful, happy, contented, optimistic, hopeful, friendly and sympathetic is the best way!
Good emotions will counteract the effects of stress diseases. Remember YOU HAVE A CHOICE. Next time you find yourself becoming emotionally worried, fearful or simply fed up, CONSCIOUSLY CHANGE your thoughts to those of courage. cheerfulness and determination. Positive thinking and good emotions can change your whole outlook, health and help you to obtain the targets you may require in life, be it Mr OLYMPIA, the WORLD’S STRONGEST MAN or simply contentment.
Train Hard, Learn and Be strong,
