Grace Under Pressure



If you can stay calm during stressful situations, it may mean a lower
risk of developing high blood pressure later in life.

In a study, researchers measured the participants' blood pressure
while they completed stressful tasks. Years later, researchers
monitored the study participants' blood pressure. Those whose blood
pressure had increased most during the initial, stressful-task phase
of the study were most likely to have high blood pressure years later.

RealAge Benefit: Keeping your blood pressure at 115/76
mm Hg can make your RealAge as much as 12 years younger.
