Happiness helps people to stay healthy
An essential component to maintaining healthy is being happy. According to studies, people who have positive thinking and are usually happy are less likely than others to develop diseases. Most times happier people may have healthier hearts and cardiovascular systems, possibly cutting their risk of diseases. Depression and negative thoughts are associated also with health problems. In addition, laughter can be one of the best ways to maintain healthy people. Madan Kataria affirms that “laughter, would not only improve ones mood, but enhance physical well-being” (Khatchadourian 77).
Most times happier people may have healthier hearts and cardiovascular systems, possibly cutting their risk of diseases. In other words, being happy help to improve your health. Richard Mulcaster, a humanist educator, argued that “being happy produced warmth throughout the body, and was good antidote for colds, headaches, and bouts of melancholy” (Khatchadourian 84). Consequently, whether people are happy or less happy in their everyday lives appears to have important effects on health and disease development. To illustrate, according to a new study, people who are usually happy, enthusiastic and content are less likely than others to develop heart illness. Karina Davidson of Columbia University Medical Center in New York, who led the new study, said it suggests heart disease might be in some degree preventable through positive emotions. To conclude, many diseases such as heart illness are associated with happiness and positive thoughts. Prevention and treatment of diseases should take into consideration the emotional state of individuals.
Sometimes depression and negative thoughts can affect your life, not only the way you look but also the way you feel and your overall health. In other words, the mind affects the body and the body affects the mind also. It goes both ways, but the main factor is the mind. According to the earliest scientific “the mind influences various functions of the body” (Khatchadourian 84). For instance, if you have a positive attitude in life, if you know you can make any situation better and you have no negative emotions, then the body will survive better. "This is the best data to date that associates positive emotional feelings with good effects on your health," says Carol Shively, at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, US. "We usually concentrate on things that are either bad or wrong, rather than good or right."
Laughter can be one of the best ways to avoid diseases and maintain healthy people. Madan Kataria explains that “laughter alleviates pain, and mitigates Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. Patients with multiple sclerosis who laughed regularly had a lot improvement”(qtd.in Khatchadourian 84). In other words, laughter can be the best medicine for people. Some people forget how important is to laugh and as a result it affects not only their emotional state but also their health. According to the scientist Lee Berk “mirthful laughter increases the production of natural-killer cells, which help the body to fight viral infections and cancerous growths. He argues also that “laughter can have salutary effects on everything from heart disease to diabetes and allergies” (Khatchadourian 85). For those reasons, one of the best ways to keep healthy is laughing and it is also a good therapy to cure and prevent diseases.
In conclusion, people who have positive thinking and are usually happy are less likely than others to develop diseases. Sometimes depression and negative thoughts can affect your overall health. On the other hand, people who have positive thoughts and correct attitude about life can positively affect their health. Laughter is a choice and we can take it to improve and prevent diseases. Consequently, laughter and being happy can be the best medicine for people.
