    Stress

    Stress is a normal part of life, but when it becomes chronic, it can lead to a range of more serious health problems.

    What is stress?

    Stress is a natural physiological and psychological response to various challenges or demands in life. This can result in physical, emotional, and behavioral changes. Some common symptoms of stress include anxiety, irritability, difficulty sleeping, and physical symptoms like headaches or muscle tension.

    What causes stress?

    A few examples of what can cause stress are major life events (such as a death in the family), work-related pressure, conflicts in relationships, financial issues, illness or injury, and time pressure. Everyone experiences stress differently and what causes stress for one person may not affect another person in the same way.

    Are there lifestyle changes I can make to impact stress?
    It's important to identify the sources of stress in your life and take steps to manage or eliminate them, if possible. This could involve finding new ways to cope with stressors, changing the way you think about stressors, or seeking help from a mental health professional.

    There are several lifestyle changes that you can make to help manage stress, such as exercising regularly, eating a diet that is rich in whole foods and low in processed food, getting 7-9 hours of sleep each night to help your body and mind recover from the demands of the day, spending time with friends and family, mindfulness practices, such as meditation, deep breathing, and practicing yoga. These can help reduce stress and improve overall health and well-being.

    More About Stress and Inflammation

    Stress and inflammation are two interconnected issues that can have a significant impact on our overall health and longevity. Stress is a normal part of life, but when it becomes chronic, it can lead to a range of health issues, including inflammation. Chronic stress can cause the release of cortisol, a hormone that triggers the body's fight or flight response. This can lead to an increase in inflammation, which has been linked to a number of health problems, including heart disease, arthritis, and certain cancers.

    To address stress and inflammation, a range of treatments and therapies are available, including stress management techniques, mindfulness practices, and anti-inflammatory diets. Stress management techniques, such as meditation and yoga, can help to reduce stress and improve mental and emotional well-being. Mindfulness practices, such as deep breathing and visualization, can also help to reduce stress and improve relaxation. An anti-inflammatory diet, which is rich in whole, unprocessed foods and low in sugar and processed foods, can help to reduce systemic inflammation and improve overall health. Exercise has also been shown to reduce inflammation and improve mood, while adequate sleep is essential for overall health and well-being.

    At Modern Age, we can help you get to the root cause of your stress with our aging wellness assessment. This 360 degree view of your health can help you discover insights that may have been missed by other medical professionals. Once we run our comprehensive blood panel, do a bone scan and a couple of other tests - we meet with you for 1 hour to discuss a personalized care plan. If stress is a priority, we will discuss treatments that can help you like our stress IV drip as well as make lifestyle recommendations that you can use everyday.
