Obiceiul care ar putea accelera îmbătrânirea: ce au descoperit oamenii de știință

Chronic hostility and cynicism can accelerate aging, as shown by a recent study involving 6,814 healthy adults. Higher levels of cynical distrust correlate with increased inflammatory markers, particularly in men. This inflammation is linked to aging, as it maintains the body in a constant state of stress, raising cortisol levels. However, hostility is not fixed and can be changed through stress reduction techniques and physical exercise. While aging cannot be completely halted, reducing chronic hostility may lessen its negative effects on health.
