Now we find out that if you think positively and have an optimistic outlook, you have a better chance of living longer. This is the result of a study of 545 Dutch dudes. Here is the story.

You may recall that the study I cited earlier this evening about chocolate consumption leading to lower blood pressure was also a study of Dutch subjects.
This leads me to one inescapable conclusion. If you are optimistic about the possibility of getting some chocolate tonight, you’ll live longer. If your optimism is warranted and you actually do get some chocolate, your blood pressure will go down. If your blood pressure is down from eating chocolate, then you should live even longer.
I think I’m going to be optimistic that there is some chocolate downstairs, and perhaps I’ll live long enough to enjoy it. If that happens, the chocolate will be the elixir that feeds the cycle of good health.
The night is getting better and better here in Jimbo’s world.
