Optimists may have longer lives, according to the results of a long-term study.Researchers followed nearly 7,000 adults over a period of 40 years, and found that those who were optimistic in their youth, as judged by a standard personality test, had a lower risk of dying during that period.
On average, the most pessimistic study participants were 42 percent more likely to die of any cause.
A number of past studies have also linked optimism to longer life. This could be the result of a number of factors, including a lower incidence of depression and possibly a healthier lifestyle.
Dr. Robert O. Young's research indicates that the major cause of depression is due to an inverted way of living, eating and thinking. Our thoughts require energy and energy consumed creates acidity. He suggests that negative emotions can create 2 to 3 times more tissue acidity then the foods or liquids we drink leading to all sickness and dis-ease.
The pathway to acidity begins with negative thoughts and negative thoughts leads to over acidity.
To learn more about how our emotions and how they can affect our health read the chapter in The pH Miracle for Weight Loss, called Think Thin.
