Many studies have pointed out that emotions are closely related to cancer, and the quality of emotions will really affect your physical and mental health. There are nearly 230,000 participants from all over the world, including different races. This group was followed up for an average of 65,438+04 years. The researchers used psychological scale to measure and evaluate participants' optimism and overall health.
Study: Reduce the risk of serious complications by 35%? It was found that the mortality rate of cardiovascular disease and even premature death decreased by 14% for people who were more optimistic in the test. The researchers also said: "Compared with pessimists, optimists have a 35% lower risk of serious complications caused by heart disease. Regardless of age, the result is the same from teenagers to people in their 90s.
Dr. Allen Rozansky, a professor of cardiology at St. Luke's Hospital in Mount Sinai, new york, believes that the reason for this result is that people with positive thinking keep exercising and eating healthily, and smoke and drink less, so they are healthier.
No matter how old you are, optimism is a kind of wealth. The study also concluded that the more optimistic a person is about the future, the lower the risk of heart disease or death. As for why there is such a connection, the researchers infer that optimistic people may be better able to cope with stress and anxiety, thus reducing the pressure on the heart and reducing the chance of causing inflammation. The researcher said: "No matter how old you are, optimism is a kind of wealth. 」
Moreover, more and more data show that pessimism may damage health, and these associations also show some psychological risk factors, such as depression and bipolar disorder.
Stay optimistic and stay away from heart disease. In fact, a study in the Netherlands held the same view in the past. * * * 545 men aged between 64 and 84 were followed up for 15 years. Not only did they test their optimism, but they also assessed their health. It turns out that optimistic men are less likely to die of heart disease. Women who are optimistic by nature have a significantly lower risk of dying from cardiovascular diseases.
