Happiness and Health

   Happiness and health have been believed linked for quite a while now. "Laughter is the best medicine" has become popular for a reason but research backs up what many people have instinctively assumed all along that happiness and health really are connected, and that one's level of happiness really can affect the level of one's health. 

Robert Holden, a happiness researcher has conducted a survey and found that 65 out of 100 people would choose happiness over health, but that both were highly valued. Fortunately, we don’t have to choose to be happy and healthy because they come along in a package. As Holden stated, “There is no true health without happiness”.

Positive Psychology: Harnessing the power of happiness, mindfulness, and inner strength

   Positive emotions have been linked with better health, longer life, and greater well-being in numerous scientific studies. Besides, chronic anger, worry, and hostility will increase the risk of developing heart disease, as people react to these feelings with raised blood pressure and stiffening of blood vessels. Bear in mind that it is not easy to maintain a healthy as well as positive emotional state.
