If you are the kind of person who always sees your glass as half full, you are likely to have a healthier heart, a study has found. Research involving thousands of British civil servants revealed that the more self-satisfied they were, the fewer problems they had with their hearts. The researchers, from the respected Harvard University in the U.S., cannot be sure why this is the case, especially as the finding still stood when factors such as weight and blood pressure were taken into account. 悲观情绪能够对身体有负面的影响，这个已经不算是新鲜报道了，不仅如此，有调查显示，“自恋”的心态有助于身心健康。根据来自美国哈佛大学的研究员，针对上千英国公务员的调查显示，他们之中“自我满意程度”越高的人，他们在生活中和工作中面临的困难就越少，他们的心血管系统更健康。而且，在调查心血管健康程度中，研究员还把个人的体重以及血压指数都计算在内，令人疑惑的是，即使是这些数字都不理想的人，只要他们自信、自恋，他们的身体相对旁人还是会更健康。 But they say that something as simple as being more contented with your lot in life could have knock-on benefits on the health of your heart. Almost 8,000 civil servants were quizzed about their satisfaction with seven areas of their everyday lives – love and relationships, hobbies, standard of living, job, family, sex life and 'one's self'. |
