I have known for years that catch-and-release fly fishing is the #1 thing that reduces my busy husband’s stress levels. And, intuitively, I’ve been convinced that Dr Sinatra might escape cardiovascular problems himself, and even live longer, if he fished more often than his busy schedule often allowed. So, this month, I was very happy to see him set aside some extra days before his annual all-guy fishing trip time to fish a few extra bonefish “flats” by himself.
For Dr Sinatra, fly fishing is a form of “moving meditation.” His entire focus is engaged in studying nature—the nuances in the movement of the water’s surface, the behavior of the bait fish and surrounding birds, the direction of the wind, and the luminescence of the sun’s rays. Then there is best part—the soft scream of his line running out over the reel when a fish takes the fly and runs with it!
Now there is scientific evidence that stress reduction—whatever form it takes for you—bolsters longevity by directly impacting your DNA in a favorable fashion.
Groundbreaking research out of USCF has won investigators the Nobel Prize for Medicine and Physiology. And it is something you, too, should know about if you’re looking to prevent heart attack and stroke, avoid cardiovascular problems, or just live a longer, healthier life!
Even before the American Heart Association finally identified “stress” as an independent factor for cardiovascular problems, Dr Sinatra was facilitating workshops to help local cardiac patients learn to identify their stressors, as well as discover interventions to alleviate them. Over decades since, we have finally collected sound research that stress reduction lowers blood pressure levels, relieves physiological strain on the heart, and may even save your life. I am proud to report that Dr Sinatra even contributed to that research!
Now we are learning that there may actually be changes to our DNA to enhance longevity if we can manage to reduce our levels of psychological distress.
