Iron90 Workplace Wellness has joined with HeartMath to deliver stress relief and weight loss. Iron90 is the only workplace wellness program that provides employees with a customized weight loss plan and an objective stress management system.
The Journal of Epidemiology states that stress as well as anxiety and depression were associated with weight gain among men and women with higher body mass indexes. Awareness of these associations may enable clinicians to help their overweight and obese patients avoid gaining further weight during stressful periods.
“Stress reduction may also be an important component of weight-loss interventions in worksites and in clinical and public health programs.”
The emWave Stress Relief System and the tools and techniques of the HeartMath system are based on over 15 years of scientific research on the psychophysiology of stress, emotions, and the interactions between the heart and brain.
The Heart–Brain Connection
Most of us have been taught in school that the heart is constantly responding to “orders” sent by the brain in the form of neural signals. However, it is not as commonly known that the heart actually sends more signals to the brain than the brain sends to the heart! Moreover, these heart signals have a significant effect on brain function—influencing emotional processing as well as higher cognitive faculties such as attention, perception, memory, and problem-solving. In other words, not only does the heart respond to the brain, but the brain continuously responds to the heart.
The effect of heart activity on brain function has been researched extensively over about the past 40 years. Earlier research mainly examined the effects of heart activity occurring on a very short time scale—over several consecutive heartbeats at maximum. Scientists at the Institute of HeartMath have extended this body of scientific research by looking at how larger-scale patterns of heart activity affect the brain’s functioning.
