I’m in a stressful job with many people below me and went grey in my 20’s and look a lot older than my years . I definitely think this is true so much so that I am thinking of packing it all in for a more simpler life with less money

I would say this is true because i always use my uncle as an example. He aged greatly between 2012 and 2016 due to stress. Guess what? He is only 40. Medically speaking, stress nake you age faster because stress overload leads to a chronic imbalance of hormones which makes you age faster. This does not just occur physically but also within us, our genes age also.

This is not only happening in Croatia, I'm from Nigeria which we have three tribes. The ratio of wealthy people is very high here so people struggle so as to survive. Imagine how a person that is hawking during the sunny day and person who sit under the hot sun in a main road will look in a year if he continues doing it incessantly.

There are some white men who came to established some companies here, where you will work from 6am -6pm, that is 12hours of interrupted working day, as it is from Monday to Saturday and the wages is just $10 when I converted our currency to USD, imagine, I had also went to work In one of the company before. Believe me, I only used a day and I didn't go the second day because of the stress, I found it hard to wake up from bed the next morning,.

So stress can make people in all countries old when they have overstressed theirselves.

There is a whole lot of truth in that i must say. It is not only about people saying that but it is medically proven correct. Stress weighs out your body organs, system, and most importantly your muscles really feel it and soon just weigh out.

A friend of mine once asked why soccer managers of big club names look so old compared to their real ages? Then he answered himself and said it is because of their stress. The pressure on them to win games and the stress involved in managing such clubs. Which to me was very correct. The thing is, every living thing requires rest and calm for your body systems to rest so that they can function properly but a man suffering from stress hardly gets enough rest or very little. He overworks and over pushes himself and that wears him out much faster.

You need rest and a peace of mind to stay healthy and young, it is an undeniable fact because most people nowadays who are so stressed out look really old in terms of their real ages and old people on the other hand look even younger and healthy when they are stress free. It is very practical and evident in society and that is why people with stress issues have a low life expectancy because of their wearing out. Stress wears you out in ways you cannot imagine.

Stay stress-free, live healthy and remaim young
