Good Thoughts

Does a positive attitude add to health?

My girlfriend called me today and said she thought but did not have statistics to back it up that women who had some kind of cosmetic surgery or procedure probably lived longer because they felt happy about themselves. She also said that she lost weight and also feels happier about herself. So I said I would look for some answers to substantiate or negate the premise.

And of course, within a few minutes of that call, I received an email from one of my news sources - HealthDay Reporter

The researchers, who reported their findings in the March issue of Psychological Science, found that the immune response became more powerful in individual students as they became more optimistic over time, and lessened as they became more pessimistic.

But there's more to it. "When people felt more optimistic, they also felt more happy, attentive and joyous, and that accounted for some of the relationship between optimism and immunity," Segerstrom said.

Actually all this is one of my main reasons to start Youthing Essentials. I believe that when you do total self care and go to sleep at night feeling that you spent time with yourself, you will be happier and this happiness will ripple into all areas of your life, especially in business.

Any thoughts on this? Let me know.
