WHY DO RICH MEN
SUDDENLY SLUMP AND DIE
Why do rich men suddenly slum and die nowadays as a chicken?
Apart from the act of God, that is the death that comes naturally, and the
death caused by the wicked one, I mean the one instituted by the devil and his
agents. Most of the death that happened to rich and big men are courtesy of
stress, chronic stress which have been going for several years unnoticed. Most
of these rich people are obese, overweight, sedentary, hypertensive, driven in
air-conditioned cars, stay in air-conditioned offices and homes. They are not
able to burn off the stress immediately they are exposed to it, their body
systems are unable to absorb the stress, as a result, it keeps on pilling up.
Because stress is a nervous tension, it occurs as your reaction to certain
situation which apparently threaten you or exert pressure on you. Therefore
stress depend on your reaction, your reaction! All right? Not the outside events.
There are two types of stress:- which are
(a) Environmental stress
(b) Psychological Stress
Both of them can be acute or chronic.
Acute Environmental Stress: makes a person
temporary nervous wreck, excessive sweating, dry throat, palpitation,
intestinal hurry, blurred vision and temporary amnesia. Example is when you are
nearly run over by a vehicle, this is followed by quick recovery as the body
mechanism is activated to restore normalcy.
Chronic Environmental Stress: Example is working in a very noisy environment. After much
battle the body elevates the stress fighting mechanism, to regularly counter
the noise pollution, that means you are constantly in a state of stressful
animation.
For psychological stress, acute psychological stress could result from immediate
unhappy marriage, unfulfilled great expectation. This result in stressful
psychological trauma.
For chronic Psychological stress:-
This is a result of being regularly unhappy at work, marriage, deflated dream and
so on.
When all those things are not
controlled, they have damaging effect.
Acute stress: When something
disastrous happens, the body reacts in flight or flight syndrome by releasing
adrenaline which releases fatty acids
and platelets to enable blood clot more quickly in case wound occurs. If injury
was not sustained, the fatty acids are converted to cholesterol deposits.
· Repeated acute stress leads to
increase in blood pressure.
· The cholesterol deposits lead to
atherosclerosis and other heart diseases, if no physical exercise is done to
use up and degrade the accumulated fatty acid.
For chronic stress, rich people face
chronic stress due to the nature of their job, societal expectation or demand,
their aspiration and desire, expose them to both chronic and environmental
stress. Their body now react with general adaptation syndrome (GAS). It is a
long term adaptation of the presence of stress. Various can set up permanent
high blood pressure and high blood cholesterol levels.
And as a result the person eventually
feels exhausted mentally and physically, develops diminished resistance to
disease, develops diminished desire to carry on- loses hope, breaks down, where physical, mental or
psychological illness occurs. On the other
hand, if the person is strong willed and sturdy, he or she absorbs these
doses of stress with equanimity. This gradual accumulation of stress eventually
gives the rich gray hairs.
