Love makes the world go round and kindness makes people come together.
Multiple studies on positive psychology have shown that positive feelings, apart from the effect they have on our mental wellbeing, affect positively our health.
In particular, experiencing positive emotions protects us from symptoms of illness such as sniffles, headaches and pain in the abdomen and stomach. Experiencing positive emotions encourages people to make healthy choices, avoid threats and take care of themselves, contributing to an overall improved health. Also, positive feelings are a wall of protection against depression, enhancing psychological well-being and life-satisfaction. Lastly, positivity is directly related to maintaining a healthy heart rate, which, in turn contributes to general health and longevity.
