Chronic Stress & Aging
Stress literally ages your cells
Chronic stress shortens telomeres, increases inflammation, disrupts sleep, and suppresses autophagy. It's one of the most underestimated aging accelerators.
The inflammation connection
Chronic cortisol dysregulates the immune system, leading to 'inflammaging' — persistent low-grade inflammation that drives heart disease, diabetes, neurodegeneration, and cancer.
