You don't need to be very happy to avoid an early death from chronic disease, study finds
A recent study reveals that you don't have to be extremely happy to lower your risk of dying early from chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. Interestingly, the level of happiness needed to see this benefit is quite low, suggesting that even small improvements in mood can have significant health implications. This finding is important as it highlights the potential for enhancing well-being without the pressure to achieve constant happiness.
