I think JOY IN YOUR LIFE is the single most important aspect of a healthy life. Bountiful eating and drinking with friends can be a joyous occasion. Who are we to say it's wrong? |
The results of a long term study that began in the early 1920s and just concluded about a year or two ago, stated that the single biggest personality trait for health and longevity is "conscientiousness". It makes sense when you think about it. Conscientiousness covers just about everything we do in life.
When the study started, the participants were about 11 years old and a few of them are still living. The study kept track of them as they progressed through life. Those who were the most conscientious were the most successful, healthy and long lived.
