longetivity

California, United states, January 5: A new research conducted by the University of California suggests that psychological characteristics of an individual play an equally significant part in determining mortality, as the socio-economic, cultural and medico risk factors.

Meticulous and painstaking individuals, often considered as boring by their peers are actually the ones that live a long life. Having characteristics such as being diligent, regimented and motivated entails that they are happier which enables them to lead stable lives. Again, because such individuals are happy they are less likely to be lured by alcoholic drinks, drugs or any other form of risk-taking - all of which helps promises wellbeing.
