Happy People Live Longer!

Train with 3T Fitness @www.jvimpacts.com Follow Coach JV on IG @3tfitness Follow Warrior JV on IG @jvimpacts Research has been proving the positive effects of happiness on wellness are real, which can especially be seen in a recent study from Duke-NUS Medical School in Singapore that found happy older people live longer. This study looked at 4,478 participants ages 60 and older throughout the country, over the course of six years. The findings suggest that even small amounts of incremental happiness can benefit longevity: Every increase of one point on the happiness score lowered the chance of dying due to any cause among participants by an additional nine percent. The likelihood of dying due to any cause was 19 percent lower for happy older people. Further, the inverse association of happiness with mortality was consistently present among men and women, and among the young-old (aged 60-79 years) and the old-old (aged 75 years or older). I don’t think this comes as shock but how many people are happy and really truly happy and why do think this is? Lets look at some factors that may be causing lack of happiness and how to create some happiness in your life.
