A healthy attitude can lead to a healthy body
and a healthy lifestyle!!!!
Studies are revealing that smiles and a positive
mental outlook correlate highly with everything from a lowered risk for disease
and better immunity system, to an
overall increase in life expectancy.
Happy Heart is a Healthy Heart
A study conducted by Dr. Karina Davidson ofColumbia University, found that people who held a positive outlook on life were
significantly less likely to develop heart disease when compared to their more
pessimistic peers. Dr. Davidson also suggested that optimistic individuals also
sleep better, eat better and handle stress more easily.
A University of Kentucky four-year study of 124 law students
found that individuals who stayed upbeat despite being under pressure felt more
positive about their law program and showed stronger immune system function.
Researchers extended their finding to conclude that when people go into
stressful situations, such as surgery, and hold a more positive outlook, they
may enjoy a better outcome overall.
Keep Smiling
Smile therapy and even laughter
yoga are now capitalizing on the notion that taking time to practice being
cheery may pay big dividends for our overall health.
