Optimists are sick less often and live longer. To such conclusion scientists from Harvard University, who analyzed data collected in the framework of the project on monitoring of health among nurses.
Studied data about diet and physical and psychological health of more than 70 thousand nurses middle-aged and elderly. During the project died about 30 thousand participants of the study.
American scientists have found that optimistic women live much longer than their more pessimistic peers. Also they have a 16% less likely to was diagnosed with cancer, 38% heart disease and 52% of various infectious diseases.
Scientists explain these results by the fact that optimists are less prone to bad habits and unhealthy lifestyle than people in a depressed state.
