A Hopeful Heart is a Healthy Heart!


Here's one of the best reasons yet to adopt an optimistic, hopeful attitude:  You just may live longer!  A recent study published in the Psychological Bulletin by Harvard scientists found huge correlation between positive mental health and healthy cardiovascular health.  Check this out:
1.  They found a 50% reduced risk of initial cardiovascular event for optimists (compared with less optimistic individuals, and
2.  Those optimists who were undergoing bypass treatment were 50% less likely to experience complications than their less optimistic counterparts.

These finding all held regardless of diet, exercise or smoking factors.

WOW - 50%!  less risk of heart attack!  Positive Psychology for the WIN!
