Tender Loving Cure
When healing physically, people might want to reduce stress-especially in their relationships. Twice in a three-month period, Ohio State University psychologist Janice Kiecolt-Glaser and her colleagues inflicted tiny arm blisters on 42 married couples. Once, each partner was asked to talk about a personal goal; the other time, both partners were provoked to disagree. After the arguing, wound healing took a day longer on average. And overall, Kiecolt-Glaser says, the skin of people who tested high on marital dissatisfaction repaired itself 60 percent more slowly than that of more amicable couples-demonstrating that "wound-healing is a really sensitive process."
64%
of adults younger than 45 say their stress level is higher than they prefer.
