According to research done by individuals from the University of Pittsburgh, women who tend to be more optimistic in their life live longer. This was figured out in a controlled study of more than one hundred thousand women since the last decade.

The results are actually quite astonishing. Women who looked at themselves as more positive individuals were more than fourteen percent more likely to outlive their sour-faced contemporaries. So if you’re thinking of being a pessimist for the rest of your life, think again- you might be needlessly subtracting years from your precious life.
