Adrenaline causes our heart to beat at fast rate and our blood sugar levels to rise, providing sufficient supply of glucose to the active muscles.

The immunity and the body reserve energy system are also stimulated to counter the situation. Mentally, adrenaline may create the feelings of anxiety and fear.

These kind of oxidizing agents, damage the vital proteins which are essential for the functioning of the cell. Some of the damage done by oxidizing gents is repaired by the cell itself, but in the long run damage accumulates and cause aging. We can say that as oxygen gives us life, it also weaken us with every breath so the breathing process is a necessary evil for us. Stress is also a major cause of early aging so the causes of stress are also the causes of aging.
