Researchers have recently been exploring the reasons why some people succumb to different chronic illnesses while others retain their good health.  There’s been a lot of discussion in scientific circles about the possibilities that there just may be a type of personality that is, in a very real way, “disease resistant”.

So how can this be possible?  Well, researchers have found that the way a person deals with stress greatly affects their ability to deal with illness and, as a result, they can successfully ward off severe chronic illness.  The theory is that just by changing a person’s outlook on everyday stressors – such as having a sense of humor about backing the car out of the garage with the door closed – can improve a person’s overall wellbeing.  This also applies to people who already have chronic illnesses: there’s a better survival rate among patients with positive attitudes than in patients with depression.
