Health professionals claim that personal worldview can have a significant impact on the risk of stroke in older people.
This was reported by URA-Inform with reference to the Telegram channel “Blog about health”.
A recent study conducted by American scientists found that a positive attitude has a protective effect on brain health. An analysis of data collected from people over the age of 65 showed that the likelihood of stroke was reduced by 41% in men and by 18% in women if they maintained an optimistic outlook on life.
The researchers emphasize that the influence of emotional state was much stronger than expected.
They believe that healthy eating and physical activity are indeed important, but positive thinking can significantly enhance the preventive effect.
This study clearly demonstrates that mental health plays a critical role in the overall health of the body and should be a priority along with traditional methods of prevention.
In addition, doctors talked about how to recognize pneumonia with COVID-19.
