Stress has long been known to exacerbate the effects of aging, but it is not fully understood how. The National Institute on Aging has suggested that stress causes aging by reducing levels in the body of an antioxidant responsible for regulating protein and cell growth, supporting the immune system, maintaining the integrity of cell membranes, and even shielding cells from free radical damage. They claim that even small amounts of stress can reduce the levels of this antioxidant in your body, disturbing the processes it is responsible for and causing premature aging.
To avoid depleting this antioxidant and causing premature aging, it is vital that you avoid stress. Stress can be reduced by living a healthy lifestyle, which may be accomplished by practicing meditation, mindfulness, and yoga, and also by ensuring that you eat a healthful diet, exercise regularly, and get plenty of good quality sleep. Keeping yourself balanced and peaceful may help you to improve your health and avoid premature aging.
