Healthy Optimism

People with a sunny outlook on life may be unconsciously beating heart disease.

A study of nearly 600 people with a family history of heart disease found that those with an optimistic personality were half as likely to develop heart disease as their grumpier counterparts.

The study participants (who had no symptoms of heart disease but whose brothers and sisters had been diagnosed with heart disease at young ages) took a standard personality test and were checked for high blood pressure, blood sugar, body fat and cholesterol levels.

Maybe adding a little fun to people's lives can work like medicine to help prevent heart disease. Researchers told an annual Heart Association meeting that people who enjoy humor were also less likely to die from early heart disease.
