Guest guest Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 I wasn't sure if whether to put this out but at the end this documentary on stress offers a lot of hope. Chronic stress shortens your life but when we become more relaxed and happy our body starts to heal from the damage and even our genes get repaired and a long life can be regained. (But you might find it hard to watch this if you dislike baboons as much as I do). It shows how depression and anxiety can be passed on through families but not through genes, but by epigentics (the programing of our genes). But this can be undone when we become more happy and relaxed with ourselves and other people. Socially dominent people (and baboons) seem to suffer far less stress but they too die early, but when we become warm hearted, relaxed, unaggressive, more confident about ourselves, and gregarious, we can recover and then go on to live long and healthy lives too.
