1. Being a caregiver
Whether it’s traditional caregiving, such as helping an elderly parent recover from surgery, or being the primary caretaker for your kids, caring for anyone can make someone age beyond their years. According to the data, this can cause stress that ages one beyond one’s years; in fact,45% of caregivers helping spouses or parents report extremely high levels of stress, which leads to them ultimately neglecting their own needs.
Middle-aged caregivers especially are most likely to make unhealthier choices. “Caregivers between the ages of 45 and 64 are more likely to be obese, more likely to binge drink, and more likely to smoke,” leading to higher rates of high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease.
