It's an age-old adage, but looking on the bright side of life can be good for your health, scientists said today.
Adopting a positive mental attitude lowers the risk of suffering a heart attack, requiring surgery and even death.
That is according to a new study by a group of scientists at University College London.
The research found after suffering a heart attack or angina, the most pessimistic patients were twice as likely to suffer a more serious health condition in the next four years, compared with the most optimistic patients.
These conditions include a more severe heart attack, heart surgery or death.
