Stress

Could stress prolong your life? Good news for medics, I suppose.
Research at the University of California showed:- People that were most hard-working, involved, persistent, achieved most and had the most stress were those who stayed healthier and lived longest. People that take it easy, don't stress and retire early were those who tended to die at a younger age. Quite surprising, considering the general anti-stress advice.
Habits of those under more stress are likely to be healthier: less likely to smoke and drink to excess but also more conscientious people tended to succeed more in their careers. People with a socially responsible life, helping and being involved with others, live longer.
