It is estimated that over the course of one year, Americans suffer 1 billion colds. But a new research shows that all it may take to avoid this mon affliction is a positive and upbeat attitude. People who are energetic, happy and relaxed are less likely to catch a cold than those who are depressed, nervous or angry, finds a new study published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine. Healthy volunteers first underwent an emotional assessment in which they were asked to rate their tendency to experience positive and negative emotionshow often they felt pleased, relaxed, happy, or anxious, depressed and hostile. Then some little viruses that causes colds were dropped on the volunteers39。 noses. Researchers then watched the volunteers to see who came down with a cold. We found that people who regularly experience positive emotions, when exposed to rhinovirus, are relatively protected from developing illness, said Dr. Sheldon Cohen, lead author of the study and a psychology professor at Carnegie Mellon University. Although positive people showed a greater resistance to colds, negative people did not necessarily get sick more often. So how can your emotions influence your health? In simple terms, when the brain is happy it sends messages to our organs that help keep the body healthy and sound. It39。s like a drug that is released by your state of mind and simply changing the state of mind can produce effects on the rest of the body through the nervous system and hormones, said Dr. Neil Shulman, author of Doc Hollywood. Your chance of developing the mon cold, pneumonia, or even cancer may very well be decreased by keeping your brain in a healthy state. In addition, happy and relaxed people are more likely to take better health practices than those are negative and stressed. They more often get plenty of sleep and engage in regular exercise, and have lower levels of certain stress hormones. Shulman says the study shows there are some simple things you can do to improve your chances of staying healthy. The takehome message is that we have very healthy ways that we can improve our overall wellbeing that don39。t cost money and that don39。t require a wait in the doctor39。s office, he said.55.
