AIMAN INAM

 

NEW JERSY: Academics here have learnt that being sanguine in life could augment human beings’ – particularly women’s – life expectancy.

The study ascertained that those ladies who uphold a constructive attitude towards life are less liable to expire from numerous syndromes such as tumor, heart ailment, stroke, respiratory disease and infection.

Investigator from Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, US, Eric Kim held: “While most medical and public health efforts today focus on reducing risk factors for diseases, evidence has been mounting that enhancing psychological resilience may also make a difference.

“Our new findings suggest that we should make efforts to boost optimism, which has been shown to be associated with healthier behaviors and healthier ways of coping with life challenges.”

It has further been learnt that buoyancy directly affects Homo sapiens biological structures.

So as to determine this, the panel of scientists here has examined approx 70,000 female’s levels of optimism. Besides, they also analyzed some other factors like race, high blood pressure, diet and bodily movement etc.

Their findings demonstrated that optimistic women have been reported with 30 percent fewer hazard of dying from the mentioned afore maladies.

Their outcomes have been appeared in the paper published online in the American Journal of Epidemiology.
