Stress
and Aging
Our bodies were designed for short-term stress responses.
The longer the stress response, the greater the risk
to our health. Cortisol, a stress hormone released by
adrenal glands, functions to raise blood pressure and
break down stored energy reserves in the face of a real
or perceived threat. Long-term release of cortisol kills
memory-forming neurons.
A study conducted on men and women over 60 found that
those with high cortisol levels performed poorly on
memory tests. Numerous studies at the Touch Institute
at the University of Miami demonstrated that massage
therapy is a very effective tool in intervening in a
long-term stress response and lowering cortisol levels.
Aging is a process that begins in early adulthood, and
accelerates into our 50’s. Today we know that
we can dramatically slow down the aging process in many
different ways.
EXERCISE
Regular exercise strengthens your body, maintains healthy
weight and reduces mental tension.
NUTRITION
Most of us have bad eating habits due to our lifestyles!
Eating a healthy diet adds years to our lives while
delaying, even preventing, disease processes.
· Eat 5 or more servings of fruits and vegetables
a day.
· Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day to
properly flush the systems of the body.
· Eat fish and chicken instead of red meat.
· Eat grains such as oats, millet, and wheat
from breads, pasta or cereals.
· Eat breakfast: it sets the energy tone for
the day.
· Make lunch your biggest meal; eat a light dinner,
and a healthy snack in the evening.
RELAX
Stretching, yoga, and meditation are great tools for
relaxation! Also, get a regular massage... the therapist
does all the work and you reap the rewards of deep relaxation.
