Simple Secrets Heart Stay Healthy

Researchers have made ​​great strides in the development of drugs and technologies for heart health mengingkatkan. But there is a sense that the key is much simpler. Recent scientific research found a positive psychology of every creature, such as happiness, life satisfaction, and especially the optimism may help protect against heart attack, stroke and other cardiovascular problems.

Researchers at Harvard University School of Public Health, Julia Boehm, said the medical field often focuses on the dysfunction and disease. "Health is more than absence of disease. So we see the positive side of each case. Optimism and happiness may protect against cardiovascular disease, "Boehm said as reported by The Huffington Post yesterday.

To prove this, Boehm and his colleagues examined 200 studies in recent decades related to positive psychology and health care. Evidence suggests that people are happy and optimistic are more likely to engage in healthy behaviors, such as physical activity, eating healthy food, and enough sleep. It also shows a positive relationship and measurable biological factors, such as blood pressure and healthy fats.

"Said a spokeswoman for the American Heart Association and professor of cardiology at the Department of Pharmacy, University of New York Dr. Richard Stein.
