Smile -- It's Good For You!


Happiness is good for the heart - and new evidence shows that may be true in the literal sense and not just the figurative.


A study in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences looked at the link between happiness and a number of health markers for more than 200 adults. All of the men and women who participated in the study were government employees living in London, England, and were white, between the ages of 45 and 59, had never been diagnosed with heart disease or high blood pressure, and had several years to go before retirement. All the women involved in the study had gone through menopause or were going through it.
