(2022·石家庄二中月考)
You know the saying “You’re as young as you feel.” Well, there may be some truth in that, according to rearchers at Harvard and the Massachutts Institute of Technology.
Ellen Langer, a Harvard psychologist who studies how the mind influences the body, and colleagues reviewed the scientific literature for evidence that a person’s perception of their age might influence their health. They published their results in the journal Perspectives onshoes Psychological Science.生目
In one study that Langer led, 47 women had their hair done. The women who thought their
new hairdos made them look younger did look younger to objective obrvers, who were shown before-and-after pictures. The women who thought they looked younger also showed a drop in blood pressure. Another study involving 4,421 men found that tho who became bald at a relatively young age were more likely to get cancer and heat dia than men who did not. Similarly, another study involving 2,017 men found that tho who lost their hair early were more likely to develop heart dia. “We believe that the feelings associated with being older than one’s real age account for some of the health outcomes.” the rearchers wrote.

Similarly, people who marry younger partners tend to live longer than tho who marry older partners, according to other studies.
炸鸡腿怎么腌制Taken together, the rearch “supports the general mind-body hypothesis (假说) that whe
n a younger mind is prepared, a younger body can accompany it”. While the mechanism (机制) remains unclear, the rearchers figured that suggestions associated with aging can “make one unconsciously or consciously aware of old age and t in motion a ries of physiological process that can have real effects on short-term and long-term health.”

Britain is the sixth fattest country within the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). For more than a decade, veral Conrvative prime ministers have declared obesity (肥胖) a national emergency and promid to take thorough action, only to produce disappointing plans that fall far shy of what is required.
It should not have taken a dia like COVID-19 to ram_home the awful conquences of the U．K.’s obesity. Obesity, as well as its associated conditions of diabetes (糖尿病) and high blood pressure, is strongly associated with a higher risk of death from COVID-19 and will have undoubtedly been a factor causing the U. K. to have the highest COVID-19 death rate in Europe.
