If you are some one who associates himself with depression and stress, this story is a must for you. Scientists have found that people who are easily stressed out or depressed are more prone to memory problems than those with sunnier temperament. Those getting easily anxious or depressed are 40 times more likely to develop mild memory loss that is in-between between normal aging and dementia. Not only such people lose cognition, but also show signs related to development of Alzheimer’s disease. Scientists warn that chronic distress is related to the first clinical manifestation of Alzheimer’s disease. And those with mild cognitive impairment have some trouble detecting things, but they do not have considerable disability. 1,256 people totally free of mental problems volunteered for the study that spanned 12 years. After the stipulated time period, it was found that 482 of them developed mild cognitive impairment. The study revealed that chronic stress might damage parts of the brain responsible for responding to stress. It could open up new ways to approach the strategy to delay the symptoms of this malady. It is better to keep your stress and tensions at bay, else that day isn’t far when your brain would give in to one of the worst brain diseases, Alzheimer’s. One can always overcome stress by exposing the body to physical exercises and meditation. Earlier studies have found that mediation promotes brain memory. Image Via: MSN
