Why Stress Can Be Good For You
Dear Reader,
Yes, you read it right. There are times when stress can actually be beneficial. It is in fact, a perfectly normal, natural biological phenomenon that has its place in our lives. Sure stress has (earned) a bad rap, likely because up to 90% of doctor's office visits are due to a stress related health problem. Chronic stress is a terrible, grinding feeling that saps you of all you have, and has been associated with high blood pressure, heart problems, diabetes, skin conditions, asthma and arthritis. You've heard all that.
What you haven't heard about is research that suggest stress can improve our immune systems, speed up thinking and deepen our social bonds according to leading expert Shawn Achor who is author of The Happiness Advantage and founder of the Institute for Applied Positive Research.
And yes, there are some (six in fact) ways stress can be good for you...
1. It builds brain cells - in a recent study at the University of California Berkeley, researchers trapped rats in cages for a few hours to mimic acute stress, and surprisingly they saw that the confinement actually doubled the proliferation of new brain cells in the hippocampus of the rats. The stressed rodents also did better on a memory test two weeks later. It appears that right after feeling stress we make more newborn neurons and when they mature they help us learn better.
2. It builds deeper connections - turns out (as any boot camp graduate will confirm) you build the deepest social bonds when you feel stressed. Research bears this out; scientists from the University of Freiburg in Germany found that acute stress might actually result in greater cooperative, social and friendly behavior among men because of the very human need for connections to others.
3. It makes you a better worker - stress on the job is part of the work world, but how you perceive that stress can help you use it to your advantage. In new research appearing in the Journal of Social and Psychological Sciences, 380 employees were divided into three groups, two watching movies on stress (one touting the benefits, the other on how it can be debilitating) and the third watching no movie at all. Turns out the stress can be beneficial group had fewer problems and a better uptick in productivity when examined at a later date, So, if you see stress as bad, then you are more apt to experience the negative health effects.

Why Stress Can Be Good For You Continued...
4. It boosts your immune system - the connection between stress and the immune system is partly evolutionary, if you're trying to outrun a predator, you want every part of your body working it's best, including healing. Vaccines work on the same idea, they stress your system so that you develop antibodies that make you stronger in the future. And while short bursts of stress might be okay, chronic, unrelenting stress can compromise your immune system so that you get sicker more easily, perhaps become vulnerable to more disease as well.
5. It speeds up your ability to think - according to experts, if you put someone in a stressful situation, the speed at which the brain processes information increases as well. Stress is actually a signal to the prefrontal cortex that this situation is worthy of attention. So that impossibly tight deadline might not be such a bad thing after all.
6. It enhances performance in sports - the body is designed to optimize function under acute stress, which is the reason we up our game when the competition is tougher. Playing a tougher opponent in an all stakes game makes your brain work at its optimal level, you'll be more and better focused and the strength and stamina you get from the natural "fight or flight" response will also help your game.
To your good health,
