Interesting Research Findings

Do you hate exercise? Do you prefer to laze about? Love chocolate? Do you swear and cuss? Do you get angry and show it? Great! You seem to be very healthy and will no doubt outlive all the polite, exercising, hardworking weight-watchers who never cuss or get angry, refuse chocolates and feel smugly superior. This is revealed by several recent studies. After years of painstaking research, meticulous Swedish researchers at the Stockholm Institute have found that lazy people live about 15 to 20 years longer than hard-working people with busy schedules. Hard work leads to an early death, they ruled, and should be strictly avoided.- What a relief!! So, all muscle men and brooding women, I shall be there at your funeral.

Even anger -- the declared enemy of the hypertensive -- is now a health aid. Scientists at Carnegie Mellon University believe appropriate anger helps you to feel in control, which keeps blood pressure normal - I have been making a great effort to keep my anger in check of late. Now I am pleased I don't have to do it.

According to a new research by Danish scientists, fat thighs may signify a long and healthy life. After diligent thigh-watching and much analysis, scientists at the University Hospitals of Copenhagen and Glostrup have suggested that thinner thighs may imply early death, especially if your thighs are under 18 inches in circumference - Can there be a more wonderful news than this for Indian women (and of course the Indian men who ogle)?

I am eagerly awaiting the next set of research findings.
