In the world that we live in, the word ‘stress’ is not new but the consequences that follow stress are unfortunately less discussed. The serious underestimation of the same should make this article more compelling to read for you. Related studies done in both animals and people show clearly that stress can affect how the brain functions. Scientists have seen changes in how the brain processes information when people experience either real-life stress or stress manufactured in a research setting.
Not only can stress impair memory and numerous other cognitive processes, such as mood and anxiety, but it also increases inflammation, which has a negative impact on heart health. Thus, several chronic heart and brain disorders have been linked to stress. It can also have distinct effects on men and women.
Techniques to Reduce Stress
Think about ways to reduce things that exacerbate your stress to manage it better. These are some suggestions to help you better control your stress levels and possibly avoid some of the negative impacts stress may have on your brain.
Below are a few techniques you can use to reduce stress:
- Use predictability to combat stress: If stress isn't predictable, focus on controlling the things that are. Possessing a routine is good for development and health.
- Get a good night's sleep: Stress can result in sleep difficulties, and the resulting lack of sleep can make stress worse. Sleep deprivation can make parts of the brain that handle higher-order functions work less effectively. Having healthy sleep habits can help. This includes going to bed and waking up at the same time each day, avoiding caffeine after noon, and creating a relaxing sleep environment.
- Change your attitude toward stress: A life without stress is not only impossible, but also would likely be quite uninteresting — in fact, a certain degree of stress is helpful for growth. So, rather than striving for no stress, strive for healthier responses to stress.
- Get organized: Using strategies to help manage your workload can also reduce stress. For example, each day, create a concrete list of tasks you need to accomplish. This way, your duties won't seem overwhelming. Making a list also gives you a clear end point so you know when you are done.
- Get help if you need it: No amount of repetition can convey enough emphasis on this one. Reaching out can help you become more resilient and better able to manage stress, which may ultimately protect your brain health. Earlier intervention may reduce disability caused by stress-related complications later.
