Loneliness makes people stress chronic

Despite the disadvantages of loneliness being soothing and undetectable in the beginning, it will accumulate over time, a new study reveals.

To test this opinion, scientists at the University of Chicago investigated a group of students of the age of students and then another group at the age of 50-68.

The findings reveal that lonely people tend to suffer more chronic stress.

In addition, they also have other life experiences. Even when dealing with similar challenges, lonely people seem to receive less help and are often threatened. Strangely, they themselves are not active in seeking help when they encounter difficulties.

When examining urine samples from lonely people and other volunteers, the team also found that the lonely group had more epinephrine levels, indicating that their lives were always in a stressful state.

Along with blood pressure, these physiological disadvantages become more pronounced with age.

In young people, loneliness causes their night sleep to be shredded into many small pieces, while in the day is the frequent occurrence of functional disorders in the body.

Loneliness is not like loneliness. Some people find it easy to be alone, and even consider loneliness as an important path to spiritual development. But for many people, social isolation and physical impairments create a toxic cocktail.
