Don't Worry, Be Happy
It seems intuitive that worrying would cause health problems. Where does all of that nervous energy go? Well, straight to the heart according to a new study as reported on MSNBC.
Psychologist Biing-Jiun Shen, of the University of Southern California, used data from the Normative Aging Study and concluded that men who were chronic worriers were 30% to 40% more likely to have had a heart attack than their more easygoing counterparts.
Maybe these men need to learn the health benefits of meditation.
