May women be optimistic and live long - Health-Teachers

High motivation and optimism can extend women's lives, extending life spans to 90 years for women of every color, race, and region. The research, conducted by the Harvard TH Chain School and led by Hayami Kuga, says that high levels of hope, motivation, and confidence among diverse faith groups, and women, in particular, can dramatically improve their lives.

Although earlier there was research on many negative effects of pessimism, it is now known that positive thinking, such as optimism, leads to better health and longevity, and the elderly also enjoy good health.

Research published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society on June 8 states that women in particular can live to be 80 to 90 years old. In this regard, from 1993 to 1998, more than 159,000 women were recruited and evaluated by various questionnaires for 26 years.

Apart from this, the experts also continued the follow-up. It was found that the 25 percent of women who were very optimistic compared to the pessimistic women saw a 5.4 percent increase in life expectancy and 10 percent of them lived to be 90 years old. This trend was prominent among women of all races. However, experts have also included dietary factors, depression, lifestyle, exercise, and diseases.

The summary of the research is that although the problems of life can be very bitter, in any case, hope should be maintained, and being optimistic can open the way.
