Kenzai Takes the Heat Out of Bad Habits and Addiction in "Satan Turns The Heat Down"
Berkeley, California (PRWEB) April 19, 2017 -- Most people approach failing from a cultural paradigm that pre-dates medical science. No matter where you're from, your ancestors lacked any significant understanding of biology or brain chemistry. When someone in their community was dealing with an unwelcome habit or addiction, they had no other recourse but to blame it on a problem with their disposition, a figurative (or literal) demon inside that was creating impure thoughts and actions.
When someone consumes a drug, be it sugar, nicotine, alcohol, or cocaine, they're almost always trying to either stimulate under-active regions of the brain or relax over-active regions. The substance evokes a hormonal response, often involving serotonin or dopamine, that puts the brain in a more balanced and happy place for a short time. But a brain that's been artificially stimulated will quickly become dependent of the foreign substance, creating a powerful drive for the individual to continue using. And of course the brain acclimatizes to the substance, requiring larger and more frequent doses to get the brain into the desired state.
Mr. Reynolds states that it almost always comes down to one of (or a combination of) five things:
• Not getting enough sleep.
• Not eating fresh and wholesome food.
• Not getting enough exercise.
• Lack of daily routine.
• Lack of meaningful human interactions.
Mr. Reynolds advises that people will make a lot more progress toward their goals by opting out of the blame and shame game, and instead focus on addressing these basic needs. Getting the fundamentals right gives brain chemistry the best shot at finding homeostasis without the crutch of an artificial substance or time-wasting activity.
