Optimism may hold secret to longer life, study suggests
Research claims people who ‘look on the bright side’ stand better chance of reaching 85
Seeing the glass as half full may mean a longer life, according to research suggesting that optimists not only live longer in general, but have a better chance of reaching 85 or older.
It is not the first time optimism has been linked to health benefits. People of an upbeat disposition have to have a lower risk of heart conditions and premature death. Researchers now say it could also play a role in living a long life.
