The love and optimism not prolong life
Baku, March 17 (AZERTAC). It is considered that a positive attitude promotes longevity. But the staff of California and Stanford University led by Professor Howard Friedman`s sure: this provision should be reviewed. For 20 years, scientists have observed in 1500 by volunteers, assessing their level of emotional spirit and life expectancy.
As a result, the study concluded: cheerful people on average have a shorter life expectancy than those who seldom jokes, and not prone to joyful perception of the world. However, the longest-lived persistent emotional people quietly accept any event.
According to experts, the explanation of this pattern can be covered in the following: optimists, being more carefree, more negligent of their health. In turn, the emotional stamina, multiplied by the good sense to act as a major factor in mental and physical health.
Also, researchers have proved: marriage good for men`s health, but female does not play a big role. Married men who participated in the survey, living to be 70 years or more. Among divorced men could boast that only one-third. Notably: the men who were never married, lived longer than remarried, although less than those who had a spouse. But for women divorce is not so terrible for a lifetime, as they think. Lonely ladies lived almost as much and married.
Another surprising discovery, researchers have done. They believe: people start school until 6 years are at risk of early death. And members of military conflicts are not always suffer the consequences of such a psychological stress. Faces were experiencing love, not to renew his years of this life, in contrast to those who helped others.
