**The Impact of Difficult Relationships on Your Health**Research has shown that having toxic relationships in your life can have a significant impact on your overall health and well-being.
A recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) found that individuals with stressful relationships, which they referred to as "hasslers," may experience accelerated biological aging. This means that the stress caused by these relationships can lead to a faster rate of cellular aging, increasing the risk of chronic diseases and other health problems.
The study analyzed data from over 2,300 participants and found that individuals with more "hasslers" in their social network were more likely to experience depression, anxiety, and poorer overall health. In fact, the researchers estimated that having just one "hassler" in your life could accelerate biological aging by as much as 1.5%.
It's worth noting that these relationships are not rare, and individuals with social or health vulnerabilities may be more likely to have "hasslers" in their lives. However, it's also important to remember that our social relationships can either increase or decrease our stress levels, and that we have the power to choose which relationships we surround ourselves with.
As Dr. Menije Boduryan-Turner, PsyD, a licensed psychologist, notes, "Those around us can either increase or decrease our stress levels because we are wired for social connection and our social relationships can significantly influence and shape our mood, perspectives, motivation, and energy."
