Millions are seeking happiness and long life and live as long as we can s,ience has been exploring the connection between happiness and longevity for some time. A 2011 analysis of nearly 4,000 Brits found those who said they felt content, happy or excited on a typical day were up to 35% less likely to die prematurely. In a 2016 study, a positive outlook was associated with longer life for nearly 4,000 older French men and women studied over 22 years.
Researchers followed more than 2,000 Mexican-Americans in 2015 and found those who were more positive in their world view were half as likely to die. And a 2011 study followed around 200 women and men from San Francisco over 13 years and found those who reported more positive than negative experiences also lived longer.,so is 2020 we are moving to happy life or worse than we expect?

Thank you for making me aware of your power point presentation. It was very interesting but quite complex; I'll have to look at it again, shortly.
I had been thinking of quality of life from my own and husband's perspective and had never thought of it in terms of mitochondria, but thanks for this.
