Simple Ways To Know If You Are As Healthy As You Think You Are

Positive Personality Traits

Recent research suggests that certain personality traits are associated with living a longer, healthier life. These include conscientiousness, emotional stability and expression, friendliness, and openness. However, the attributes most strongly associated with longevity differ between men and women. In a study conducted from the 1930-2013, researchers found that men who exhibit conscientiousness and openness live longer than men who do not possess these traits. In comparison, women who show signs of emotional stability and agreeableness (friendliness) are more likely to live longer than women who are emotionally unstable.
