Surprising Antiagers(Hang out with Happy People)

Scientists have known for some time that happy People live longer because their good spirits help protect them from illness. The new twist is that happiness is socially contagious: You can catch it- or its opposite- from the People close to you. Analyzing the social networks of the participants in the Framingham Heart study, Researchers at the University of California discovered distinct clustters of Happy and Unhappy people. "People who are the most likely to become happy themeselves in the future" remarked resarecher Nicholas Christakis, MD, a professor of Medical sociology at Harvard. Moral? It pays to choose friends who lift you up.

Surprising Antiagers(Embrace Your Age)

Feeling Good about growing Older may help you live longer. When Yale University Researchers studied the morality rates of 660 seniors who had been paricipating in the Ohio Longitudinal study of Aging and Retirement, those who started out two decades earlier in the study with a positive attitude toward old age ended up living an average of seven and a half years longer than others, says study coauthor Becca R. Levy, PhD, an associate Professor at Yale school of Public Health. The Study subjects who refused to buy into negative cultural stereotypes about aging when they were younger tended to have greater enthusiasm about life when they grew Older.

Surprising Antiagers(Lead a Boring Life)

Oops, did we say boring? We meant diligent, Responsible, hard-working, organized and self-disciplined, all facets of what researchers label comscientiousness. People who have this trait not only live longer(presumably because they avoid risky behaviors like smoking) but are also less likely to suffer from dementia in old age. Those at the top of the conscientiousness chart reduce their risk of developing Alzheimer's symptoms by a remarkable 89 percent compared with those at very bottom, according to research by Robert Wilson, PhD, a professor of nueropsychology at the Rush University Medical Center, in Chicago. "Conscientiousness doesn't prevent the underlying pathologies, like the buildup of plaques and tangles traditionally associated with Alzheimer's and similar illnesses." Wilson explains. "Instead, it seems to provide a protection that allows some people to tolerate the disease in their brains much longer without the appearance of symptoms."
