Why Stress Causes Aging - What You Can Do to Stop It!

Why Stress Causes Aging - What You Can Do to Stop It!

If you've ever blamed stress for new wrinkles or gray
hairs, you may have been right. There’s now strong
proof long-term stress makes us grow old before our
time. But - there's also new proof that a positive
outlook can reduce impact of stress on your health. It
cannot ravage the body if your the mind says "no."

The Physical Impact of Stress Want a reason to
introduce serious stress reduction into your lifestyle?

Studies show that high levels of stress can lead to
obesity, and definitely trigger a raft of diseases from
heart attacks and cancer - to ulcers, colitis, and all
the age-related disorders like arthritis. The Center
for Disease Control and Prevention claims as much as
90% of doctor visits in the USA are triggered by a
stress related illness.

When you get hit by stress, your adrenal glands crank
out powerful hormones such as adrenaline that drive
your blood pressure up. And with chronic stress, those
hormones stay at dangerously high levels.

New research has shown that over-the-top stress goes
beyond a temporary increase in blood pressure, and
actually injures (and often kills) the cells of your
body and brain. This accelerates the aging process,
leaving you prone to a long list of diseases.

Dr Elissa Epel of University of California in San
Francisco studied women suffering from the intense
stress of caring for chronically ill children. Her
study looked deep inside their cells to determine if
stress was affecting a key part of their chromosomes
called a "telomere."

Telomeres cap the ends of the chromosomes containing
your body's DNA, and are recognized markers of aging.
As people get older this cap gets ground down. When the
telomere gets too short to work properly, cells all
over your body start to sicken or die -- and the
diseases of old age set in.

Epel's research team found that the longer a woman had
cared for a child with a serious illness, the shorter
her telomere -- a finding that points straight to rapid
aging. "It's very sad," Epel says. "These women are
paying an intense personal price."

But this premature aging response was not confined to
caregivers: The study also studied mothers of healthy
kids. Most of the women in this group did not report
burn-out stress level. But those that did also had
shorter telomeres, and the related premature aging
response.

When the researchers looked at the stressed-out women
in both group, they found dramatic signs of damage.
"They had lost the amount of telomeric DNA one would
expect to lose in 10 years of aging," Dr. Epel says.

Proof a Positive Attitude Prevents Aging We all have
stressful things happen to us - loss of a job, a
natural disaster, a divorce, a car accident. But does
that type of stress doom us to DNA damage? Probably
not. Providing you resolve the stressful situation and
it does not become chronic, you can rebound and further
develop your resilience and stress resistance.

The women in Dr Epel's study who viewed their situation
positively didn't seem to suffer the ill effects of
stress. A positive outlook on life, a regular
stress-management regime, and the support of friends
can help buffer the potential damage of ongoing stress,
Epel recommends.

Lengthen Your Life A great way to reduce your stress
and slow down the aging process is laughter. Laughter
protects your nervous system and gives your endocrine
system a much-needed rest, all at the same time. It’s
actually a tremendous healing activity.

When you laugh you boost your immune system, clear
waste products out of your internal organs and tissues,
and increase the oxygen in your body at both cellular
and organ levels. (It's interesting to note that cancer
cells die in the presence of oxygen.)

So if nothing else, at least do get a good laugh about
something. Click Here!
