MENTAL HEALTH
Maintaining a healthier life, such as following a plant-based lifestyle, can help slow or even reverse the progression of the disease. In addition, regular exercise, particularly intensive exercise, can boost telomerase activity. As a result, living a healthy lifestyle and managing stress can slow down the aging process.
As previously stated, not all stress is harmful. We distinguish between “eustress” (good stress), which is required for us to excel at work, in sports, and relationships. And “distress” (bad stress) occurs when stress gets too much for us to handle.
Therefore you don’t have to shield yourself against all types of stress, but the kind that lasts for months is constant and hinders you from experiencing your life to the fullest.
