Stress in NYC<\/b><\/p>\n
Living in NYC is stressful. \u00a0It feels like the subways never function properly anymore and the demands of everyday life here in this hectic city can easily weigh you down. \u00a0Even worse, the cold weather and early sunsets mean fewer opportunities to feel the calming effects of enjoying the sunshine while being outside with friends. \u00a0And as a result, we find it more difficult to relax, and we get stressed! You probably heard stories of stress leading to weight gain, lack of sleep, grumpy moods and an even higher risk of dementia in elderly people \u2013 but did you know that stress also leads to memory loss at a younger age? <\/span><\/p>\n Why It\u2019s Important To Destress<\/b><\/p>\n When we get stressed, the stress hormone cortisol is released by the adrenal glands as part of the fight-or-flight mechanism<\/a>. <\/span>This bodily response is good because it helps our bodies and brains handle bouts of anxiety and stress with ease. \u00a0However, when the stress and anxiety are constant and reoccurring, our bodies experience an elevated level cortisol. \u00a0Elevated cortisol levels increase the risk of\u00a0depression, mental illness, and lower life expectancy. Moreover, in a recent study that examined a group of men and women with an average age of 48, researchers found that people with the highest levels of cortisol had the most memory loss<\/a>. <\/span>\u00a0This means that stress negatively affects our thinking and short-term memory. \u00a0\u201cAcute or chronic stress can cause the suppression of the hippocampus\u00a0\u2013 the learning and memory area of the brain – making it more difficult for the brain to store and retrieve information<\/a>.\u201d <\/span>Memory loss isn\u2019t just a symptom of old age or Alzheimer’s anymore \u2013 it\u2019s also a sign of a younger person who is in a state of constant stress and anxiety. It\u2019s even more important than we originally thought to keep our stress levels at a minimum starting now! \u00a0But don\u2019t let this news stress you out\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n Now I\u2019m Even More Stressed!<\/b><\/p>\n Oftentimes people think that distressing is a luxury when it\u2019s really a necessity. \u00a0Hopefully, the potential for memory loss helps you recognize the significance of taking time to de-stress. \u00a0Moreover, distressing doesn\u2019t have to include expensive activities and services like massages, spas and meditation centers. \u00a0You can de-stress in your own apartment without breaking the bank. Taking a soothing shower is one easy and inexpensive way to calm down. \u00a0It\u2019s a great way to relax because being underwater forces you to detach from all technology, social media and emails while focusing on yourself for as long as you like. \u00a0You can\u2019t even check your phone (unless you want it to get drenched in water and malfunction!). Another way to relax in your apartment for free is to listen to music. It may sound overly simple but the calming power of music is well-established. \u00a0Even better, listening to a song that you love and know all the lyrics to is a great way to distract yourself from whatever is causing you anxiety. Another way to calm down is to simply phone a friend. It is well-known that human connections have to ability to reduce our stress levels. \u00a0Friends make us laugh, help us solve problems and help us understand that we\u2019re not alone. <\/span> Stress in NYC Living in NYC is stressful. \u00a0It feels like the subways never function properly anymore and the demands of everyday life here in this hectic city can easily weigh you down. \u00a0Even worse, the cold weather and early sunsets mean fewer opportunities to…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":112,"featured_media":63634,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-63633","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mind"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wellvyl.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63633","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wellvyl.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wellvyl.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wellvyl.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/112"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wellvyl.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=63633"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/wellvyl.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63633\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":69673,"href":"https:\/\/wellvyl.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63633\/revisions\/69673"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wellvyl.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/63634"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wellvyl.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=63633"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wellvyl.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=63633"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wellvyl.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=63633"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
