Stress and Aging

Psychological stress has been suggested to accelerate the rate of biological aging. Y-AGE_AEON_White_Envelope_EU

A study “Work-Related Exhaustion and Telomere Length: A Population-Based Study” [1] was carried was carried out in 2012 to review this.

Work-related stress occurs when the demands of the work environment exceed the worker’s ability to cope with or control them [2]. In Europe, its prevalence is around 20% and the annual cost of work-related stress is estimated to be 20 billion euro in the 15 original European Union Member States [3]. In the US, workers experiencing fatigue were estimated to cost employers an excess of 101 billion dollars [4].

A representative sample of the Finnish working-age population was used, consisting of 2911 men and women aged 30-64. In conclusion, the data showed that work-related exhaustion is related to the acceleration of the rate of biological aging.

To reduce stress, try the LifeWave Y-Age Aeon Patches, they are clinically proven to reduce stress in the body. The patches are free from drugs, chemicals and stimulants.
