Low amounts of this hormone has been linked to promoting the aging process (such as hardening of the arteries and the loss of muscle and bone) and higher levels has been associated with better cognitive function in humans and lifespan extension in mice. Meditation, yoga, and exercise are all great ways to combat and negate the unhealthy effects of chronic stress.
