You live longer if you are happy and lazy Have you ever thought about the health benefits of being lazy and happy? Well, today I'll try to tell more about a good influence of laziness and happiness on our life. There are some researches proving that laziness makes our life longer. Scientists explain, that active life is full of stress, which puts a big pressure on our body. That's why being active might be harmful and even dangerous (four men died while taking part in the Great North Run, a half marathon, in September). But you can reveal the daily pressure if you take a nap. A study of 23,681 Greek adults in 2007 found that those who took a siesta lived longer. Systematic nappers had a 37% lower chance of suffering from heart attacks. It doesn't mean that you shouldn't do some physical activity. You should, but 20 minutes jogging a week is quite enough for your body. And what about happiness? Researchers discovered that happy people (compairing with unhappy ones) have stronger immune system, their blood pressure is lower and they have better protection against heart attacks and strokes. They also deal better with pain, have regular checkups and do more exercise (walking, for example). In conclusion, I would like to say that you shouldn't work hard to be healthy. All you need to do is live in your own path without any rush, because our life is too beautiful to be run by, isn't it? P.S.: Everything of genious is simple)
