Daniel 12:4 NLT “But you, Daniel, keep this prophecy a secret; seal up the book until the time of the end, when many will rush here and there, and knowledge will increase."
A new study is suggesting that men and women with severe stress in their lives run a much greater risk of stroke than the average person.
The study from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine showed a direct connection between stroke and the level of stress in someone’s life. The study followed men and women for 16 years to track stress along with blood pressure and other health issues.
“Assessment and treatment of anxiety has the potential to not only improve overall quality of life, but may also reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, such as stroke, later in life,” Dr. Maya Labiase told Reuters.
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death in the United States.
The study also showed that people with high stress in their lives tended to choose activities which increase stress on the body like smoking and alcohol abuse.
