\"\"El optimismo mejora tu vida y la de quienes te rodean. Y por si esto fuera poco, tambi\u00e9n minimiza el riesgo de ataques card\u00edacos. Un estudio realizado por investigadores de la Escuela de Salud P\u00fablica de la Universidad de Harvard, en Estados Unidos, revel\u00f3 que las personas que se mantienen m\u00e1s optimistas son aquellas que tienen menos riesgo de desarrollar problemas cardiacos.<\/p>\n

Despu\u00e9s de analizar cerca de 200 estudios previos, los investigadores dedujeron que ver la vida con positivismo ayuda a reducir el riesgo de desarrollar enfermedades cardiovasculares como hipertensi\u00f3n y colesterol alto.<\/p>\n

A su vez, ya se hab\u00eda demostrado que los factores de la negatividad como estr\u00e9s, depresi\u00f3n, ira, ansiedad y hostilidad, aumentan el riesgo de desarrollar trastornos del coraz\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

De acuerdo con los cient\u00edficos, esto podr\u00eda estar relacionado con un factor determinante como el que las personas positivas y optimistas est\u00e1n comprometidas con conductas m\u00e1s sanas en general, h\u00e1bitos como hacer deporte, tener una dieta saludable y dormir bien, lo que a su vez genera buenas funciones biol\u00f3gicas.<\/p>\n

Para la doctora Julia Boehm, quien dirigi\u00f3 el estudio, el optimismo no funciona como amortiguador de las enfermedades cardiovasculares sino simplemente tiene un v\u00ednculo con la buena salud.<\/p>\n

Finalmente, otra de las investigadoras, Laura Kubzansky, indic\u00f3 que las revelaciones de esta investigaci\u00f3n asientan que \u201cpara mejorar la salud cardiovascular, m\u00e1s que simplemente mitigar los d\u00e9ficits psicol\u00f3gicos hay que incrementar las fortalezas psicol\u00f3gicas\u201d<\/p>\n

\nBeing upbeat and optimistic may help protect against heart disease
\nBe happy – it seems to be good for your heart.Scientists have long known that Type A personalities and people who are chronically angry, anxious or depressed have a higher risk of heart attacks.<\/p>\n

Now a Harvard review of the flip side of that psychology concludes that being upbeat and optimistic just may help protect against heart disease.Rather than focusing only on how to lessen heart risks, \u00abit might also be useful to focus on how we might bolster the positive side of things,\u00bb said lead researcher Julia Boehm of the Harvard School of Public Health.<\/p>\n

Boehm reviewed dozens of studies examining a positive outlook – as determined by various psychological measurements – on heart health. Optimism in particular seems key, as a number of studies found the most optimistic people had half the risk of a first heart attack when compared to the least optimistic, Boehm said.Why? Previous work shows the stress associated with negative psychological traits can lead to damage of arteries and the heart itself.<\/p>\n

Boehm found that people with a better sense of well-being tend to have healthier blood pressure, cholesterol and weight, and are more likely to exercise, eat healthier, get enough sleep and avoid smoking. But she cautioned that it will take more research to tease apart if a positive outlook makes people feel more like taking heart-healthy steps – or whether living healthier helps you feel more positive.<\/p>\n

The review, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, was published Tuesday by the Psychological Bulletin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
