Positive Thinking Helps To Live Longer, and Have Better Health

There are many things that affect the longevity of our life. 

But there is one, which influence is so big, that neglecting it would be inexcusable.

A new study from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health found that optimism, life satisfaction, and happiness, regardless of any other factors, are associated with healthier behaviors and healthier ways of coping with life challenges.

According to the study, positive thinking is that changed longevity of humans more than any other factor.

There are psychological assets, like optimism and positive emotion that afford protection against cardiovascular disease.

It also appears that these factors slow the progression of disease. 

The science of happiness is increasingly suggesting a link between happiness and health.

In the study that spanned from 2004 to 2012 70,000 women were participating.

The results showed that the most optimistic women had a nearly 30 percent lower risk of dying from any of the diseases, analyzed in the study, compared with the least optimistic women.

Particularly, the most optimistic women had a 16 percent lower risk of dying from cancer; 38 percent lower risk of dying from heart disease; 39 percent lower risk of dying from stroke; 38 percent lower risk of dying from respiratory disease; and 52 percent lower risk of dying from infection.

Optimism and happiness and good health go hand-in-hand and scientific studies have been finding that happiness can make our hearts healthier, our immune systems stronger, and our lives longer through enhancements of our cellular structure.

While other studies have linked optimism with reduced risk of early death from cardiovascular problems, this was the first to find a link between optimism and reduced risk from other major causes.
