Looking on the bright side of life, seeing opportunity even in a difficult situation can help in keeping you healthy, according to a novel research.
Findings of the study suggest that having a positive attitude not only keeps one in high spirits but also helps in boosting the immune system, vital for fighting off diseases.
124 students analyzed
To reach this conclusion, a research team from the University of Kentucky analyzed the outlook of 124 first year law students over a year and also tested their immune system strength during that period.
For the study, the students were injected with a harmless dose of dead mumps virus or candida yeast under the skin of their forearm.
