America’s stress levels are on the rise, but while we’ve always been told stress can be bad for our health, a new study suggests that’s not always the case.
A National Health Survey conducted in 1998 asked people about their stress levels, with 55% saying they had been under moderate-to-severe stress in the 12 months prior. Of those people, 34% said that stress had some affect on their health, while 25% said it made their health worse. Well, now scientists used that data to see whether such stress did in fact cause issues with health and they came to some surprising conclusions.
