How Stress can cause a Stroke or Heart Attack.

Stress, which is a feeling of being overwhelmed by mental or emotional pressure, is a very common issue.
stress hormones are the same ones that trigger your body’s “fight or flight” response. Your heart races, your breath quickens, and your muscles ready for action. This response was designed to protect your body in an emergency by preparing you to react quickly. But when the stress response keeps firing, day after day, it could put your health at serious risk.
Yet if your stress response doesn’t stop firing, and these stress levels stay elevated far longer than is necessary for survival, it can take a toll on your health. Chronic stress can cause a variety of symptoms and affect your overall well-being. Symptoms of chronic stress include:

• irritability

• anxiety

• depression

• headaches

• insomnia

As a result, frequent or chronic stress will make your heart work too hard for too long. When your blood pressure rises, so do your risks for having a stroke or heart attack.

How much sleep do you need at 40?

Here's the optimal sleep duration for people over 40!!

Sleep duration, psychiatric disorders and dementias are closely interconnected in older adults. However, the underlying genetic mechanisms and brain structural changes are unknown.
The optimal duration of sleep changes according to the periods of life; children and teenagers need more sleep than adults and the elderly. approximately 7 h as the optimal sleep duration, and genetic and cognitive factors, brain structure, and mental health as key measures.
>brain health , both from a structural and functional point of view. The optimal sleep time would be seven hours (7hrs) for this age group.

The brain regions most significantly underlying this interconnection included the precentral cortex, the lateral orbitofrontal cortex and the hippocampus. Longitudinal analysis revealed that both insufficient and excessive sleep duration were significantly associated with a decline in cognition on follow up. Furthermore, mediation analysis and structural equation modeling identified a unified model incorporating polygenic risk score (PRS), sleep, brain structure, cognition and mental health.
