Have you heard of cortisol? Sometimes it’s referred to as the “fight-or-flight” hormone.

Cortisol is important as our stress hormone, but also helps regulate blood pressure and blood sugar crashes. And when cortisol is struggling, we often see the other adrenal hormones struggling.

- Have you ever stood up and suddenly become dizzy? Cortisol is likely insufficient enough to help regulate the pressure changes in your bloodstream to ensure enough is getting to your brain.
- Not a morning person? Rely on caffeine to get by? Cortisol should be at the highest first thing in the morning. When it’s not, you’ll feel like you are in a constant battle with your alarm clock.
- Get your second wind at night or feel like a night owl? Cortisol may be peaking at the wrong time.

Which of these have you felt before under stress?

When stress becomes chronic (lasting for weeks or months), it can develop into a health hazard.

Yet many people aren’t aware of the warning signs.

This type of condition is often ignored and thus goes on for a long period — to a point where the person becomes used to it and thinks of it as “normal” — not realizing that it’s slowly damaging their health, or that there is something they can do to protect themselves and reverse the problem.

How to Protect Yourself: Know the 5 Top Signs of Chronic Stress

High Blood Pressure - Exposure to long-term stress is one of the causes of hypertension. Stressful situations, both physical and mental, can cause blood pressure levels to spike.

Weakened Immune System - Long-term stress suppresses an individual’s immune responses, including chronic inflammation and suppressing the function of immunoprotective cells, as a result. This makes one vulnerable to a number of diseases.

Skin Problems - Notice those breakouts whenever you’re cramming before an exam or when there’s an upcoming project deadline and you’re pressed for time? Stress may cause skin problems like acne.

Depression - Being constantly exposed to stressful environments and situations can cause problems like anxiety and depression. Studies confirm a relationship between stress hormone disturbances and this mental concern.

Substance Abuse - Exposure to long-term stress can make one more prone to using alcohol or drugs.

3 Tests to determine longevity!
Enjoy and tell me what you think?
Share with family and friends

Most people have a desire to live life to the fullest with a combination of quantity and quality.

There are many parameters that may determine how long you live, however,this short article presents the findings of five researchers who identified three simple tests you can do at home to measure your ability to increase years to your life.

The medical paper published in the British Medical Journal in 2014 revealed a 13 year study where they took 1,355 men and 1,411 women in 1999 when they were 53 years old and then checked to see who was alive and well 13 year later in 2012.

The following are the three tests that were evaluated:

Standing on one leg with your eyes closed for 10 seconds or longer, having a strong grip, and being able to stand up and sit back down in a chair many times in a minute.

According to the researchers of this paper, these tests clearly represented tell-tale signs of longevity.

Performed well in all three tests at age 53 or so and you should be healthy and vibrant 13 years later, when you are 66.

Researcher from University College London estimate that a 53 year old who can complete these tests successfully is up to 5 times more likely to be alive and well at 66 than someone who couldn't complete the tests or who did them poorly.

There were far higher death rates amoung those who failed to complete the tasks.

Officially the tests are called the Chair Test (Standing up and sitting down in a chair 39 times in a minute for a man, and 36 times for a woman), the balance test (standing on one leg for 10 seconds or longer with eyes closed), and the grip test (ability to apply a pressure of up to 54.5 kg)
