1. Heart protection As we all know, stress can have a great influence on mood, and it is easy to control the rise of blood pressure and heart disease. Studies by relevant foreign institutions show that the more rest, the more effective it is to relieve stress and protect heart health. 2. Reduce the risk of catching a cold. Sheldon Cohen, a professor of psychology at Carnegie Mellon University, said that long-term stress lasting more than one month, but less than six months, will double the risk of catching a cold. Studies have shown that stress can reduce the body's ability to resist inflammation. So relieving decompression will reduce the risk of catching a cold.
3. Improve memory. In mouse experiments, long-term stress can damage the frontal cortex of the brain, including abstract thinking and cognitive analysis. Another previous study on mice found that a sudden increase in stress may damage the central part of brain memory and learning. Other studies have found that stress can increase the content of certain protein in the brain and worsen the symptoms of cognitive impairment. 4. Reduce the risk of stroke. Research by the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom shows that people who can withstand pressure can effectively reduce the risk of catching the wind by about 20% compared with ordinary people. Another study found that due to psychological stress, the stroke risk of middle-and high-level men increased by 10 percentage point.
According to Time Weekly, research shows that long-term stress will kill brain cells in the hippocampus and even prevent the formation of new brain cells. If the stress hormone cortisol exists in human body for a long time, it will reduce the levels of serum amine and dopamine, which will lead to depression.
