long life

Who's going to believe getting a long life can be that easy! But, Israeli researchers suggest peers can be a blessing if you get along with them as you grapple with the insurmountable stress at office.

According to a new research conducted for the American Psychological Association, being friendly with colleagues is as vital for your physical health as for a wholesome working ambiance.

In a one-of-a-kind revelation, psychologists at Tel Aviv University emphasize necessity of having friends at work for a longer life.

Researchers at the University of Colorado (CU) School of Medicine in collaboration with the Harvard School of Global Health have found that compared to people who reside near sea-level, men lived 1.2. to 3.6 years more and women lived 0.5 to 2.5 years longer.

"If living in a lower oxygen environment such as in our Colorado mountains helps reduce the risk of dying from heart disease it could help us develop new clinical treatments for those conditions," said Professor Benjamin Honigman at the CU School of Medicine.

A review of more then 160 studies on human and animal subjects found “clear and compelling evidence” that happy people tend to live longer and experience better health than their unhappy peers, the Science Daily reports.

In fact, evidence linking an upbeat outlook and enjoyment of life to better health and longer life was stronger even than that linking obesity to reduced longevity, according to the review published on Tuesday in the journal 'Applied Psychology: Health and Well-Being.'
