Centenarians Manage Stress Well
Do centenarians experience stress differently?
Yes. While stress is unavoidable, centenarians use healthy coping mechanisms to manage it.
Explanation
Centenarians often practice faith, meditation, humor, or community engagement to cope with adversity. These practices reduce stress reactivity and lower chronic cortisol levels, protecting cardiovascular and immune health.
Research shows stress management skills predict lower inflammation, reduced risk of depression, and longer lifespan. The ability to adapt and remain optimistic is a hallmark of long-lived individuals.
Practical Emphasis: Develop stress-reducing rituals that work for you — from meditation to prayer to laughter.
Takeaway (Action Tip)
Cultivate stress management practices for resilience and longevity.
