Welcome back to another episode of health hacks as I continue talking about stress and how it impacts your health and your lifespan. And today, I want to talk about the fact that living in a place of chronic stress accelerates aging, and nobody wants that. And the reality is is that all you have to do is look at the our world leaders, and look at what they look like when they go into office, and then look at what they look like when they come out of office, you know, look at whether it's, you know, the Canadian Prime Minister, US presidents, British Prime Minister, Australian Prime Minister, any of our world leaders, they have very stressful jobs, and you look at their aging over the course of time that they're in office, and you'll see that they age significantly. And this is happening because stress speeds up the aging process by shortening our telomeres, which are like the protective caps on a on shoes laces. Well, there are protective caps on the ends of our chromosomes, and high stress will shorten those and so much research has come out in the last 20 years about longevity and increasing our health span and the importance for longer telomeres in order to do that, and stress does the exact opposite. So what can you do? Well, a really fun way that I love reducing my stress level is to turn on either really calming music and just chilling out and allowing that music to come over my body and almost Envelop me in the music, as I just allow my nervous system to calm or to put on some really uplifting music and dance it out and just shift the energy, dance it out, move my body. Because, of course, movement can help lower our stress. So whichever way you want to do it, whether it's calming, whether it's uplifting, it might be different from day to day, depending what's going on for you, but it's a really powerful way to reduce the stress that you have in your life and bring some joy back to your life and and then slow your aging process. In the process, and I'm sure you want to slow your aging process, don't we all.
