President Obama Looking Older while Black America Suffers Most
It’s
official. Stress can take ten years off your life. That’s the conclusion from
researches at the University of California, who have been studying the affect
of stress levels on the body. They found that stress accelerates the aging of
our cells, which makes us more prone to age-related diseases. This is bad news
for people with stressful jobs and hectic lifestyles as they are more likely to
die earlier than less stressed people. It’s a message for us all to slow down
and take things easier.
Research
leader, Dr. Elissa Epel, compared 39
women who looked after children with chronic illnesses with a ‘control’ group
of 19 mothers of healthy children. The length of the life-giving telomeres was
then measured in their blood. The women
who had the more stressful task of caring for chronically ill children aged the
equivalent of ten years compared with
the other women. Their stress levels caused them to age faster. It has
always been common knowledge that stress kills. Now we may soon be able to
measure how dangerous our stress careers and lifestyles really are.
