Fulfilling a Need in the Face of High Food Prices

It's not every day that a professor gets a $2 million award from Rutgers University, but that's exactly what Dr. Juan Carlos Galindo did last week, the New York Times reports.

Galindo's research focused on the effects of stress on the body's ability to heal itself.

In his paper, published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, Galindo used MRI scans to create a three-dimensional model of the body's tissues and compared them to images of people with and without chronic stress.

He found that people with chronic stress were more likely to have a lower level of troponin, a measure of how much damage the body does to itself, than those with chronic stress who didn't have it.

He also found that people with chronic stress were more likely to have an increased risk of heart attack and stroke.

Galindo tells the Times that he was "shocked" by the results.

"I had never seen anything like it before," he says.

"It was shocking to me."

He says he hopes his findings will lead to more research into the effects of chronic stress on the body's ability to heal itself.

In the meantime, he's trying to figure out a way to make it easier for people with chronic stress
