Stress shrinks the brain...

Stress is present in almost everyone and this has prompted researchers to deal with its elaboration. According to a study published by Agroweb, having stress affects the contraction of the human brain, so work must be done to overcome it. Studies on stress at work show that stress created at work is at higher levels than stress in general life. Other surveys show that 74% of students in Albania are affected by a high level of stress and 55% of them need help. Stress can be an inevitable aspect of our daily lives, but if it is not eliminated quickly, then it is a problem. For some people, stress can last for weeks, months or years. The consequences are severe and often hidden. According to experts, one of the most dramatic consequences of stress is observed in the brain which shrinks as a result. Scientifically explained: When a person is stressed, his body produces cortisol. In limited quantities, cortisol is not a problem. It has the ability to lower blood pressure, keep blood sugar under control and reduce inflammation in the body. But if a person is stressed all the time, his body has an inexhaustible flow of cortisol. High levels of cortisol push a person toward overweight, heart disease, depression, high blood pressure and an unhealthy lifestyle Studies warn that high levels of cortisol reduce brain volume. The most stressful skills are those of learning, memory, thinking, emotions and interaction. Studies confirm that women with high levels of cortisol in their blood have poor learning and memory skills. According to them, if the brain shrinks and memory is problematic, in the time frame of 10-20 years, man faces the high risk of sclerosis. These findings should serve as an alarm bell, especially for people who do not give themselves a break and struggle that day and night.
