Chronic stress causes our biological clock to function more quickly.
According to researchers at Yale University, chronic, or general, stress is the most harmful sort because it's long-term and raises your risk of heart disease, addiction, mood disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder. The occasional flare-up will not have those consequences.
The researchers observed the health of 444 people between the ages of 19 and 50, with blood samples taken before they responded to questions regarding their stress levels.
Stress has different effects on individuals. According to the researchers, those who had better impulse control or were better able to regulate their emotions didn't age faster.
Researchers suggest that exercise and meditation are the two most excellent methods to reduce stress. If you master those two, you'll also slow your biological aging process and improve insulin sensitivity, which can lead to diabetes and heart disease.
In other words, they'd mastered the art of chilling.
