For years, we’ve been told that stress can kill you and happy people live longer. But what if the opposite is true? UC-Riverside health researchers Friedman and Martin recently published a book, The Longevity Project, based on an eight-decade-long Stanford University study of 1,500 Californians. They found surprising lessons about who lives a long, healthy life and why. The results may surprise you! Persistent folks live longer, some stress is actually good for you and marriage is not always the magic ticket to a long life, especially if you are a woman. Below are a few recommendations to increase your chances of a long life from the longevity study:
1. Not all stress is the same.
2. Reach out and touch someone — on a regular basis.
3. Don’t make your dog your best friend.
4. Be careful about who you choose to marry.
5. If you’re a very cheery person, tone it down a bit.
6. Don’t retire early.
