Another piece of research affirming the healthfulness of cheese was published recently. It is generally accepted that people with better mental health have better physical health as they age. This study attempted to establish what factors improve mental health and and why that leads to healthier aging.
Researchers used genetic data from several large studies to examine how mental well-being (life satisfaction, positivity, neuroticism, and depressive symptoms) affects healthy aging. They found that better mental well-being leads to improved aging outcomes like resilience, healthspan, and longevity, regardless of socioeconomic status. Those with better mental health generally exhibited better self-rated health, greater resilience, and longer lifespans.
The reseachers discovered that sedentary activity such as smoking, inactivity, and excessive TV watching were linked to poorer well-being, whilst enjoying more cheese and fruits was linked to better well-being.
