A hostile attitude may cause a decrease in lung function

by Ed

Here is an interesting piece of news. Apparently recent research suggests that the more hostile your ettitude, the more your lung function declines.

I like this quote from one of the researchers:

“The good news here is that unlike other exposures, like air pollution or genetic predisposition, hostility is something that can be changed.”

See the article in the International Herald Tribune.

Amazing.

Do you think it means that white men being uptight has health benefits?

Maybe white males are less angry because things are designed to suit them?

I’d like to see more research on these sorts of things!
