Stress Can Ravage the Body, Unless the Mind Says No

Studies suggest that high levels of stress can lead to obesity and trigger a raft of diseases — from heart attacks to ulcers. These and other stress-related diseases sicken millions of people each year in the U.S., says brain researcher Bruce McEwen at the Rockefeller University in New York.

Stress is the body's response to having an argument or getting hit with an unexpected tax bill. The adrenal glands crank out hormones like adrenaline that drive up blood pressure. With chronic stress, those hormones stay at dangerously high levels.

Up to 90 percent of the doctor visits in the U.S. may be triggered by a stress-related illness, says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

And now, new research suggests that over-the-top stress can go beyond the temporary increase in blood pressure to actually injure cells of the body. That injury may accelerate the aging process, leaving people prone to a laundry list of diseases.

Stress works at the cellular level

Elissa Epel, a psychologist at the University of California, San Francisco, and her colleagues turned to women under a crushing burden of stress: mothers of sick kids. The researchers began to peer deep inside their cells to see if stress affected a key part of the chromosome called a telomere.

Telomeres are thought to be markers of aging, says co-author Richard Cawthon of the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. Telomeres cap the ends of chromosomes, which contain the body's DNA.

As people get older, this cap gets ground down. When the telomere gets too short to work properly, cells all over the body start to sicken or die — and diseases of old age set in, Cawthon says.

A positive outlook can help

“We all have stressful things happen to us,” Cawthon says. “You can have a divorce. You can be in a car accident — there are so many things that cause stress.”

Does that stress doom us to DNA damage? Probably not.

Subjects in one study who viewed their situation positively didn't seem to suffer the ill effects of stress.

A positive outlook on life and the support of friends might help buffer a damaging stress response.

When firefighter Larry Cullison's wife got a diagnosis of Alzheimer's at age 58, it forced him to slow down, a step that many experts say might help reign in stress.

Cullison does everything he can to reduce stress. He has cut his work time by about half. He lifts weights daily. He tries to stay focused on the goal at hand. And when things get really rough with his wife, Tommy Marie, he turns to a time-honored method of reducing stress: prayer.

His calm, can-do approach to life not only helps his wife, but might protect Cullison as well, according to recent research from scientists at the University of California, San Francisco and elsewhere.
