Optimistic 😃 Outlook May Reduce Risk of Stroke

[Jace]

Being optimistic and hopeful may reduce the risk of stroke in the senior(s),
suggests the results of a study at the Univ. of Texas Medical Branch@ Galveston.

Upbeat moods and attitudes may, somehow, help the immune system function better.

Among American elderly, stroke is the third most common cause of death
and the most common cause of long-term disability.

Consequently, the more positive outlook an individual has, the lower the risk of stroke!

Are you an Optimist?

 

[Jules]

Could it be that the positive/happy person is less likely to have high blood pressure, a leading cause of strokes?

 

[Knight]

I think I've been an optimist all my life.

 

[Remy]

I'm doomed. Though I've had good luck so far with my BP. No problems there.
