“There are some very interesting studies linking optimism to better immune function,” says Lisa Aspinwall, PhD, a psychology professor at the University of Utah. In one, researchers comparing the immune systems of healthy, first-year law students under stress found that, by midterm, students characterized as optimistic (based on survey responses) maintained higher numbers of blood cells that protect the immune system, compared with their more pessimistic classmates.”

Other research shows that when patients maintain an attitude of gratitude, were optimistic, their outcomes were better after surgical procedures and even when confronted with AIDS than those who were pessimistic. Remember, Proverbs 17:22, “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.” So, for better health, count and share your blessings; then WATCH GOD WORK as you are blessed with better health!
