  Stress and Aging: How to Manage It for a Younger You Stress is often called the “ silent ager .” While wrinkles and gray hair may be the visible signs of time, chronic stress quietly accelerates aging from the inside out — affecting your brain, heart, immune system, and even your DNA. The good news? Stress is one of the most controllable aging factors . With the right habits, you can slow biological aging , restore energy, and feel years younger. How Stress Accelerates Aging When stress becomes chronic, your body remains stuck in “ survival mode .” This triggers a cascade of harmful effects: 1.

Fortunately, modern research — and timeless wisdom — show us that these effects can be slowed, even reversed. Here are ten actionable habits for leaders, innovators, and seekers striving for balance, renewal, and resilience.  1. Master the Cortisol Curve Keep consistent sleep and wake times.
