Stress Management & Aging

According to Professor Hans Selye, a famous Canadian physiologist, regarded as the "father of stress", stress may be responsible for premature aging and serious health problems. Research has confirmed that a high level of stress increases the damage caused by free radicals, which accelerates aging. Chronic stress can also cause a weakening of the immune system, attack the cognitive functions, and increase susceptibility to certain serious diseases - cardiovascular diseases and neurodegenerative diseases, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer - and accelerate the evolution of those diseases.

Some researchers go further to say that chronic stress can age chromosomes up to 10 years. In your body, there are elements consist of microscopic molecules of DNA called chromosomes. At both ends of each chromosome are telomeres. In other words, telomeres are structures that represent the end of each chromosome and essential to their healthy development. Each time a cell divides, telomeres shorten. When the telomeres reach a certain length, the cell stops dividing and dies. But telomeres have an enzyme, telomerase, which can fix them and delay the process of cellular aging.

According to a study by a group of U.S. researchers on the effect of stress on telomeres of a group of 58 healthy women, of which two thirds are mothers of chronically ill children, the length of the telomere is shortest and the activity of telomerase is lowest among mothers who have the highest level of stress. As telomere length determines the lifespan of our cells, the researchers estimated that the chromosomes of the most stressed mothers have lost 10 years.

Although there are several ways to fight against stress, sleep is one of the simplest and most effective anti aging. In fact, they say that sleep is the natural mechanism of rejuvenation. Every night, the biological systems rest and revitalize. In your program to prevent premature aging, you should sleep for about seven hours a night- but less than nine. In addition, to improve your sleep, you can breathe fresh air every day; this may require that you stay or do physical exercise outdoors.

If you can, have sex very often; sexual intercourse is anti-stress and anti aging. In addition to combat stress, it is important to adopt a detached attitude of the concerns, large and small; focus on positive things that can help you happy. To a large extent, stress is the way we react to events. It is possible, although may be difficult, to change your anxious attitudes. In short, do everything that can restore vitality.
