Want a longer life? Mediate!

As frivolous and corny as the title sounds, the Portland State University School of Community Health had concluded a 2-year study of 666 older adults, aged 65 to 90. Their finding? The more negative social exchanges one engages in, the poorer one's health can be expected to be.

It must be noted that the conclusion is one of association, not of cause-and-effect. In other words, there is no scientific theory that says disputes lead to ill health. There is however a scientific observation that says, people who are often engaged in disputes are often also suffering from ill-health.

Question is, why take chances where our health is concerned?
