THE PHYSICAL BENEFITS OF HAPPINESS
We are all familiar with the basic guidelines for good health: exercise, eat right – more fruits and veggies, more fish, fewer calories, more fiber, less sugar- don’t smoke, don’t abuse alcohol or drugs.
If we follow these guidelines and maintain an optimal weight, many health problems would be greatly diminished.
But there is another dimension to our health. How we think and feel, how we interact with others, and the kind of activities we spend our time doing can have a huge impact on our physical – not only mental -- health.
We can assess these different habits and behaviors by how they affect our happiness, our relationships, and our resilience. Which helps us to function better? Which helps us to enjoy the company of family and friends? Which helps us to be more effective and to live a better life?
Fortunately, over the years there has been a great deal of very good research that is beginning to show some clear and consistent guidelines for how to practice psychological health, and live a happier and more fulfilling life.
