A new study shows that coping with mental stress may be harder on a woman’s heart than a man’s. According a study from Penn State’s College of Medicine, when given the same stressful problem, the heart rates of both men and women went up as did their blood pressure while solving it. Normally, blood flow to the heart increases when blood pressure and heart rate rise because the heart has to work harder. They found that this was true in men, but not in women.
These findings would suggest that women may be more likely than men to suffer heart problems after an emotional upset or some other mental stressor. It also underscores that stress reduction is important for everyone, but it may be even more important for women.
Exercise can be a great way to cope with mental stress. Anvanca® defines exercise as any activity which requires effort over a period of time. Any effort or movement requires energy, and energy requires the body to burn calories. It becomes exercise when this effort is maintained over time, and it is measured in calories burned per time period, say 30 minutes. For many, this is a shift in thinking. Most people view exercise as something you do at the gym, or as part of a daily routine outside. In reality, exercise can be something as simple as cleaning the house, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, or parking farther away from your destination so you have to walk a few extra minutes.
