Positive outlook is one of the keys to preventing heart attack

by What Doctors Don't Tell You

A positive attitude can have a big effect on the health of your heart, and could even halve your chances of suffering heart problems, and even a heart attack, over a 10-year period.

Researchers from Columbia University Medical Centre in New York confirmed what we all instinctively know when they tracked the lives of 1,739 adult volunteers – 862 men and 877 women – over the 10 years.

They wanted to gauge the impact of a positive attitude on heart health compared to a generally depressive view of life.
