A happy partner is all you need to lead a healthier, longer life

India TV News  

Having a life partner who is a happy person can keep you fit and healthy in your middle age and later years, says a study. According to researchers at Michigan State University, simply having a happy partner may improve health as much as striving to be happy oneself. "This finding significantly broadens assumptions about the relationship between happiness and health, suggesting a unique social link," said William Chopik, assistant Professor of Psychology at Michigan State University. "Happy partners may get unhappy people involved with activities and environments that promote good health, such as maintaining regular sleep cycles, eating nutritious food and exercising," Chopik added. "Simply knowing that one's partner is satisfied with his or her individual circumstances may temper a person's need to seek self-destructive outlets, such as drinking or drugs, and may more generally offer contentment in ways that afford health benefits down the road," Chopik pointed out.
