Mind Set Matters - Science confirms the link between mind set and disease: A persons psychological state is a prominent factor in health. Attitude, social networks and a healthy diet are woven together in their importance for physical and mental health. These factors affect the immune system and how a person takes care of themselves. Attitudes such as forgiveness, faith, optimism, happiness, perseverance under stress, and trust in God are linked with reduced risk for heart disease, high blood pressure, infection, ill health, and countless stress-related conditions. They also lessen the severity of illness and speed recovery when it occurs. A steady state of grief, worry, hostility, unforgiveness, hopelessness and depression increase the risk of infection, inflammatory conditions and disease and slower recovery from sickness. Many factors contribute to disease. Positive, perky people get sick and critical, crabby people escape illness. However, a positive mind set is as important to good health as better-known factors such as exercise and diet.
