Science has proven why it is important to remain calm. It turns out that women with various phobias accelerating the process of cell damage associated with aging.
Researchers from Boston Hospital Brigham and Women's in the United States found that anxiety and fears accelerate our natural aging by as much as six years. Because phobias in the body is rapid destruction of the cells, which leads to the aging process higher intensity.
So in older women with unexplained fear of heights or crowds have shorter telomeres than their peers calm. Telomeres this end regions of chromosomes that protect our genetic material from damage. That telomeres are considered markers of biological cell aging . Shortened telomeres are associated with an increased risk of cancer, heart disease, dementia and premature death.
American scientists took blood samples from more than 5000 women aged 42 to 69 years. They were also asked to complete a questionnaire, which gave an idea of any possible phobias. It was found that the higher the level of anxiety and fear in women, the shorter the telomeres in their body.
Reducing the length of telomeres in women experiencing high levels of anxiety, compared with their peers calm, it was tantamount to life the interval of six years. Thus, worries and fears shorten our lives by as much as six years. This is the first scientific study which shows up with the arithmetic harmful effects of stress on the human body. And we are talking about life expectancy, but not the risk of serious diseases that can break it at any moment.
