Stress & Aging

If you were born today in the United States you can expect to live up to 78 years. And the longer you live, the longer you can expect to live. Life expectancy has increased greatly from 1900 when the average newborn couldn’t expect to reach age 50. Similar numbers can be seen in most developed countries. In the 20th century, life expectancy increased more than it had in any century since the beginning of human civilization. But extending the lifespan has also increased the burden of diseases such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, arthritis, and other conditions that tend to affect older individuals. Most of these chronic diseases, though, are associated with stress and therefore are preventable if good strategies to reduce stress are in place. We all experience a little stress from time to time. It is not so hard to handle it when we are young. But as we age, coping with stress is not as easy. We tend to have less resilience to stress, and older adults often find that stress affects them differently. Learn more at www.drmonicabucci.com
