Positive people can do much more than we thought

A new study by Swiss researchers demonstrated in a practical and effective power of positive thinking. According to the results, subjects who claimed and were convinced that they feel good, are healthy and everything going for them finally enjoyed a longer life and better health than pessimistic people.

The researchers took into account risk factors that affect life expectancy such as smoking, alcoholism, chronic diseases and hypertension. 7 During the decade of the century, a sample of 8,000 people has undergone positive thinking experiment.
Thirty years later, the volunteers were diagnosed again and surprised the researchers found that people who think positively about their general health status have lived longer than pessimistic.

"Our study demonstrates once again that people who are viewed as having excellent health come to live longer than others. Decisive factors in this process include a positive attitude, an optimistic estimate of the surrounding reality and a state of complacency about personal life, "said David Fah, researcher at the University of Zurich.
According to data submitted at the end of the study, men who believed that their health is mainly negative, were 3.3 times less likely to survive than those who maintain that they enjoyed good health. For women, those with negative thinking had a 1.9 times higher risk of dying than those who rank themselves positively.
Despite these results, some experts are not convinced of the power of positive thinking for long-term health maintenance.
