Hahahahahahahah!
Hahahahahahahah!
A study published on Wednesday in The Lancet, following one million middle-aged women in Britain for 10 years, finds that the widely held view that happiness enhances health and longevity is unfounded.
“Happiness and related measures of well-being do not appear to have any direct effect on mortality,” the researchers concluded.
He and his fellow researchers decided to look into the subject because, he said, there is a widespread belief that stress and unhappiness cause disease.
Such beliefs can fuel a tendency to blame the sick for bringing ailments on themselves by being negative, and to warn the well to cheer up or else.
...“Believing things that aren’t true isn’t a good idea,”
...The new study says earlier research confused cause and effect, suggesting that unhappiness made people ill when it is actually the other way around.
