Stress might lead to memory loss and brain shrinkage, study says

I want to share another interesting article this week about the detrimental impact of too much stress.

If you don’t have time to read the entire article just take a moment to review a few of the quotes from it below:

• “If you live a high-stress life, you could have memory loss and brain shrinkage before you turn 50, according to a study published Wednesday in the journal Neurology.”

• "We found memory loss and brain shrinkage in relatively young people long before any symptoms could be seen. It's never too early to be mindful of reducing stress."

• “The study found people with the highest levels of cortisol (the stress hormone) had the most memory loss.”

• "Take some time for yourself. Do some meditation. There are ways to control stress that will lead to a beneficial outcome."

I can’t say it much better than that final bullet point.
