Optimists live longer than pessimists, less sick and less feel the pain. The payments were made by scientists from different countries. But why a positive attitude enhances our health?

The most popular non-drug treatments – this is probably the physical activity and proper nutrition. But if you do not like diets and do not want to play sports, your health is not all lost. As the scientists say, to strengthen your body and delay old age will help … cheerful disposition and belief in a brighter future. Optimism not only saves your nerves, but also strengthens the immune system, repels germs and softens the pain, doctors say.

However, medicine and previously acknowledged the influence of emotions on health. But mostly negative. Stress, for example, has long been considered one of the causes of ulcers, and anger – a risk factor for cores. Now, however, a positive experience can get a therapeutic status.

One recent study of the University of Pittsburgh found that people who, they say, “no zaparivayutsya and easy to relate to all their ills, three times less likely to suffer from viral infections than the pessimists and enthusiasts to sulk. Doctors even conducted an experiment to confirm his theory: they deliberately infected their experimental cold virus and watched as their bodies react. And optimists immunity had a much stronger resistance to infection, than pessimists.

Other research has yielded more surprising results: American physicians have found that people, looking to the future with optimism, feel pain less than those who set negative. It will also recover quickly from injuries and operations and, according to statistics, less likely to suffer from cancer, heart disease and depression. But researchers from Yale University say that those who are not afraid of old age and relates to aging as something natural, in fact, grow old and die later than others.

In general, a good attitude can extend human life by 7 or more years, scientists suggest. And this applies even to those people who in general does not possess ideal zdoroveem. This is the “magic” of good mood, say the researchers. It prolongs life, even those who have gathered a bouquet of diseases.

By the way, stop there, researchers are not collected. Perhaps a more detailed study of how mood and temperament affects health, will lead physicians to develop new therapies or drugs.

- For many years we were engaged in studies of seriously ill people and the causes of their illnesses – Independent quoted Dr. John Weinman, professor of Psychology Institute of Psychiatry, King’s College London. – Maybe now it’s time to shift their attention to those who feel well, despite his health problems, and reasons for their wellbeing.

It causes health depends on the mood of interest to most physicians. After all, get to the bottom, scientists can simulate the processes occurring in the body of an optimist to treat the pessimists. However, so far in this area there are only hypotheses. One of them says that optimists are more likely to closely monitor yourself – eat right, play sports, avoid bad habits. This explains their good mood, and their good health.

Another theory is that optimists protect those hormones, which, in fact, form what we call a “good mood” (they have provoked a feeling of joy and hope, either themselves are produced under the influence of these emotions). Many doctors and previously associated with positive effects on overall health. Happiness hormone serotonin, for example, has long been considered a natural analgesic. In contrast, the hormone “stress” cortisol contributes some painful symptoms and even accelerates the development of diseases such as AIDS.
