Receivd 1 downvote- I gave up the news

Best thing I ever did. :-)

I gave up all the YouTube alternative news sources, and prepper show, as well. 🙃

Ya, know what happened? My blood pressure and pulse rate went down, and I found the motivation to start taking care of myself again. 😁

All that happened from my constant watching of all the madness was that I was slowly dying. 🙁

I have been so much happier since I walked away from all the BS.😁

The world will be ok or go to heck, with or without me watching. So, I am, not watching anymore.🫣

I am going to live my best life, while I can,and that doesn't include any doom outside of my own reality.😁

When you discover something bad has happened, it can trigger your body’s ‘fight or flight’ response. This is your body's evolved response for coping with intense danger. At a neurobiological level, it's governed by what’s known as the sympathetic nervous system, which sends commands from your spinal cord to your body’s major organs, including your heart and intestines, gearing you up to either fight or flee when faced with danger.

A key part of the fight or flight response is to shut down digestion so that blood flow and energy can be sent to your limb muscles instead. In some people, this sudden effect on digestion can manifest as nausea, vomiting or diarrhoea. In short, the bad news has prompted you to feel threatened and your body has triggered your survival mode.

The sympathetic nervous system is in constant opposition with the parasympathetic nervous system, which is more active when we’re relaxed. It sends its own messages to your body, including encouraging digestion. So anything you can do to boost your parasympathetic nervous system activity ought to help you overcome those feelings of sickness."

Some other things the Fight or Flight Response does are....

"The fight or flight response is an automatic, evolutionarily conserved physiological reaction to perceived threat or danger. It involves activation of the sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system, leading to changes such as increased heart rate, rapid breathing, pupil dilation, and the release of stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. These changes prepare the body to either confront (fight) or evade (flight) a threat."
