Stay Healthy, Live Happy

Attitude is everything, including playing a role in physical health

Aging is often — or always — seen as an inevitable decline, a slow march toward limitations in physical, mental and social capacities. But what if much of what we attribute to aging is more a product of our mindset than biology itself?

Groundbreaking research from psychologist Ellen Langer suggests that our beliefs about aging significantly impact how we age and that adopting a positive attitude can add years to our lives and enhance the quality of those years.

She uses the phrase chronic health as opposed to chronic illness. The word “chronic” is used to describe a condition that persists over a long time, as opposed to an “acute” condition that is short-lived.
