Well, we all knew that stress, anxiety and depression don’t bode well for our lives in general, but there may be yet another reason to keep depression and anxiety away naturally. New evidence is showing a strong correlation between early memory loss similar too and including alzheimers in people who tend to get much more anxious, stressed out and depressed more easily. All the more reason to make sure we eat right, exercise and try to maintain a peaceful, harmonious lifestyle that agrees with our hearts, souls and minds.
How significant is the actual risk of these types of individuals losing memory? Well, they are up to 40% more likely to start losing their ability to think critically as well as to start to exhibit signs of alzheimers much younger than their more tranquil, less depression-prone counterparts. I’ve actually seen this theory at work in my experiences with others, and I believe this theory 110%.
Scientists are so convinced by these latest solid findings that they are confident enough to say this offers the first solid proof that chronic stress, anxiety and depression actually compound and lead to alzheimers, even early-onset alzheimers. The key to staying calm, upbeat and stress-free?
Try practicing yoga, tai chi, and other profoundly relaxing yet invigorating exercises that get you in touch with your breath and your thoughts. Believe it or not, breathing exercises and techniques to help slow breathing down are one of the best stress coping mechanisms we as humans have at our disposal, and it would be wise to take full advantage. Are their herbal remedies for depression and anxiety? Of course there are, but the key to living in harmony with one’s self is not only in supplementation, but also within the lifestyle that one chooses to live and the choices they make in their lives that affect not only themselves but others.
As they say, do unto others as you’d have done to you. Karma, synchronicity and all that “mumbo jumbo” as some would call it really does have a theory behind it, and living your life according to these credos will help anyone get through life more easily and at peace with themselves and the world around them.
