HEALTH NOTE - A Merry Heart

"Researchers at Johns Hopkins have found that a positive attitude is the best prevention against heart disease, according to EurekAlert. Even individuals with a family history of heart disease were only half
as likely to have a heart attack or chest pain requiring surgery if they had a good attitude. 
The power of positive thinking was strong even when traditional risk factors like cholesterol, weight and smoking were taken into account.
Sir John Herschel once said that all scientific discoveries seemed only to confirm the truths come from on high, and contained in the sacred writings. Three thousand years ago, Solomon said “A merry heart does good like a medicine” (Proverbs 17:22; see also Eccl. 5:18-20)."
