Stress doesn´t affect your life span – but how you feel about it does. Researchers in Michigan asked 30,000 people to rate their stress level and how much they believed it impaired their health. Those who felt it was harmful were 43% more likely to die in the study period. Cheer up and it might never happen. So don´t be put off by pop psychologists who call stress a killer.
