When
talking about colds (感冒), maybe some people say
it is very common. During the cold winter days, many people will complain the cold
winter makes them catch a cold, and what they feel upset about are not only the
headache, cough but also the runny nose. It is so embarrassing when they forget
to take tissue (纸币) along with them.
Want
to stay away from colds? Put on a happy face.
Compared
to unhappy people, those who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer
from colds, according to a new study. It's possible that being happy helps the body
fight illnesses, say the researchers from New York University.
"It
seems that positive (积极的) feelings may reduce
the danger of illness," said the study's chief researcher Sheldon Cohen.
In
an earlier study, Cohen found that people who were cheerful and lively caught
coughs and colds less often. People who showed feelings were also less likely to
tell their doctors that they felt ill.
In
this study, Cohen has interviewed 193 adults every day for two weeks. During the
interviews, the people told researchers that they were given colds by doctors and
had to stay alone in a room for six days.
The
results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get ill. But for
people who said they felt happy during the research period, their illness are less
serious and lasted for a shorter time.
Cohen
believes that when people experience positive feelings, their body may produce a
chemical: that helps fight illness and disease. So if you are worried about your
health, look on the brighter side more often.
