“Silent Killer” DOUBLES Your Death Risk
Your body was built to manage short bursts of stress. It thrives on it.
Chronic stress is a different story.
It takes a mental and emotional toll on you, of course, driving up your risk for things like depression, anxiety, and sleep problems.
But the consequences of chronic stress don’t end there. It’s also known for increasing your risk of heart problems, pain, weight gain, digestive issues, and more.
Well, unfortunately, that list just got a little longer.
Because it turns out stress can DOUBLE your risk of dying from one of the leading killers in the world…
It turns out that CANCER and chronic stress go hand in hand.
Researchers analyzed data from 41,000 participants in the NHANES (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey) study that was collected over more than 30 years.
Using various measurements, including body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, kidney function, C-reactive protein (inflammation) levels, and more, researchers determined the body’s allostatic load, or their level of wear and tear.
In other words, stress level.
Ultimately, they found that people with a high stress load were 2.4 times more likely to DIE from CANCER than those with a low one.
Even after adjusting for factors like age and race, folks with a high stress load were 21 percent more likely to die from cancer.
According to the researchers, these results reveal that high-stress modern lifestyles are at least partially to blame for cancer being the second leading cause of death.
Obviously, there’s more to cancer than stress alone. But it’s clearly such a significant factor in our ability to stay alive and thrive that we should all be giving it more attention.
Diet and exercise go a long way toward your health and longevity—but managing your stress levels should be a top priority on your list, too.
P.S. You can’t entirely avoid stressful situations. The trick is to make sure your body responds in a way that helps instead of hurts you. Researchers recently identified a simple, truly revolutionary way to improve how your body responds to stress. I’ve got the whole scoop right here.
