Can A Little Stress Be Beneficial?

We are collectively aware of the bad outcomes of stress. Rather we stress about the bad outcomes of stress itself. However, there is little information available regarding the effects of limited stress.


Findings demonstrate that working memory brain activation was raised in response to low to moderate levels of perceived stress. This improves mental performance.


A Little Insight On Chronic Stress

Chronic negative stress can alter brain chemistry, increasing white matter at the expense of gray matter. The latter is engaged in emotional control, self-control, decision-making, and muscle control.


According to the study, this ongoing stress can also raise the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and migraine headaches.


Associated Factors To Cope With Stress

The study participants who reported more support from family or friends also appeared better able to cope with low to moderate stress levels in a healthy manner. If your family or community is supportive, it's possible that you can withstand more stress. But lastly being exposed to adversity might be good for some but not for others.

HEALTHY BITES

  • Morning Alertness: According to a recent research, numerous changeable lifestyle factors, such as the quantity and quality of sleep, may have a greater impact on morning alertness levels than genetic ones.
  • Antioxidants For Memory Decline: According to a recent study, consuming more flavonols in one's diet was associated with a slower rate of age-related deterioration in both general and specialized domains of cognitive performance.
  • Climate Change & Fungal Lung Infection: Experts believe that climate change is to blame for the spread of fungal lung infections to areas of the United States where they were previously unheard of.
  • Plant-Based Diet: Do you worry about your chances of colon cancer? Eating whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and legumes may increase your likelihood of avoiding the disease, according to recent studies.
