Study shows optimists are blessed with better health
CHICAGO - Optimism is good for the heart, a study said on Monday.
The most optimistic among a group of 545 Dutch men age 64 to 84 had a roughly 50 percent lower risk of cardiovascular death over 15 years of follow-up, according to the study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
