CHRONIC STRESS ACCELERATES AGING
Scientific study shows cells age faster from stress.

Scientists have identified the first direct link between stress and aging. At the tip of each cell is a telomere. It is likened to the plastic tip on a shoe lace. Each time the cells reproduce the telomeres become shorter. The report, published in the current issue of Proceedings of the national academy of Sciences, found that the cells of women under stress had undergone the equivalent of 10 years of additional aging compared to women living normal lives.
