Being upbeat and optimistic just may help protect against heart disease. Scientist have long known that people that are chronically angry, anxious or depressed have a higher risk of heart attacks. In Harvard University a review says that rather than focusing only on how to lessen heart risks, "it might also be useful to focus on how we might bolster the positive side of things" said Julia Boehm, the lead researcher in Harvard School of Public Health. Although if you are always a pessimist, some research has found that asking people to smile helps put them in a better mood, although long-term effects aren't clear.
