Did you know that taking care of your emotional health and well-being can make your RealAge up to 16 years younger?
That's a good thought isn't it?
Here's how to do it.
Face It
Gazing at familiar faces, even in pictures, may help you feel less stressed.
The look of a familiar face appears to soothe nerves and dampen the stress response, according to a new study. And finding the familiar face in a photograph produces the same effect. Spend time with friends and family when you're feeling stressed and keep photos on hand for times when they can't be near.
Stress causes your body to release adrenaline and cortisol, hormones associated with the "fight or flight" response. These hormones kick your body into high gear by dilating your pupils, diverting blood flow to your muscles, and increasing your heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration. Although some stress is good, chronic stress is associated with increased rates of depression and anxiety and may aggravate other medical conditions. Keep stress at bay by getting regular exercise, practicing some form of relaxation or meditation technique, eating a healthful diet, and spending time with family and friends.
