News Topical, Digital Desk : Did you know that your anxiety about aging is causing you to age prematurely? Yes, if you're constantly in fear of aging, it could be severely damaging your health.
A recent study from New York University has revealed some startling revelations. According to this study, anxiety about aging, and especially fear of future health problems, significantly accelerates the aging process in our bodies. This isn't an external change, but rather a change that occurs at the cellular level within our bodies, causing us to actually age faster.
Research conducted on 700 women surprised everyone.
This important study involved over 700 women. Scientists found that women who were more concerned about their aging showed clearer signs of accelerated biological aging in their blood tests . In scientific parlance, the technique used to measure these age-revealing traits is called "epigenetic clocks."
Why do some people look older than their age?
This research also revealed a very interesting finding. In adults, this association with accelerated aging was primarily linked to fears of disease, physical weakness, and dependence. In contrast, if a woman was only concerned about her beauty loss or fertility, it did not appear to have an impact on the process of aging.
How is your thinking changing your body's age?
Mariana Rodrigues, a researcher involved in this study, clarified the situation by saying that the fear of aging is not just a delusion or a minor psychological problem, but it is a serious health problem. Although previous studies have proven that anxiety and depression have a negative impact on our physical health, but this is the first time that researchers have confirmed that there is a direct and deep connection between 'anxiety about aging' and 'the actual aging process of the body'.
