Stress is just part of the journey, with no way to avoid it for long. Older adults seem to trade the worries of raising their children and job or career concerns for other uncertainties. Aging people often become worried about their health or that of a loved one, spouse, or companion.<\/p>\n<p>Seniors recognize that independence may be diminishing, and finances might be constrained. Illness and death of friends and family come all too frequently. These are normal stressors, and seniors may need skills for healthy coping.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Where Does Stress Come From?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Stress is often connected with physical and emotional health problems, from anxiety and depression to hypertension and issues of immunity. Left unmanaged, stress increases the risk of heart disease by 40%, heart attack by 25%, and stroke by 50%! Other medical conditions can worsen from stress, too. What is a senior to do?<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, there are stress-relieving techniques that anyone can practice to cope better with stress and increase health and well-being. Here is a list to consider.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>11 Stress Relief Techniques for Seniors:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Practice meditation. There are many different styles and techniques.
