People tend to think that unhappiness causes disease or illness, but a recent study shows that this is not true.
Dr Bette Liu from the University of New South Wales in Australia looked at over a million women (aged 55-63) over a 10 year span.
The researcher found that only after becoming sick did rates of happiness decrease, not the other way around. The conclusion of this study is that poor health causes unhappiness. Dr Lie says: "We found no direct effect of unhappiness or stress on mortality".
Therefore, it makes very good sense to focus on being healthy, as a way to stay happy.
It's almost obvious that if focused on health ( good nutrition, exercise, sleep hygiene, hydration), that happiness would follow.
