Wellness Tip 4d Changing Climate: A happy life leads to a healthy life and a healthy life leads to a happy life

Health, happiness linked - Fort Leavenworth, KS - The Fort Leavenworth Lamp: "A happy life leads to a healthy life and a healthy life leads to a happy life. The effects of happiness on health are strong and universal. A recent Gallup Poll with 150,000 representatives of 140 countries found that happiness has a stronger association with physical health than access to basic human needs such as food, shelter and personal safety. Greater happiness can even prevent the common cold. In one study, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University assessed people’s emotions and then exposed them to the common cold virus. They found that happy people were less likely to develop the common cold than unhappy people. They repeated the experiment with the flu virus and found that happier people are also less likely to get the flu. In addition, studies show that because happier people are less likely to get sick, they live longer."
