The following article, entitled,
"Patient Know Best", appeared in the August 1991 of the Reader's Digest:
"A person's answer to the question, "Is your health excellent, good, fair or poor?"
is a remarkable predictor of who will live or die over the next four years according to new finding.
A study of more than 2800 men and women 65 and older found that those who rate their health 'poor' are four out of five times more likely to die in the next four years than those who rate their health 'excellent.' This was the case even if examinations show the respondancts to be in comparable health.
These findings are supported by a review of five other large studies, totaling 23,000 people, whick reached similar conclusions according to Ellen Idler, a sociologist a Rutgers University, and epidemiologist Stanislav Kasl of Yale university School of Medicine, co-others of the new study."
People that have an image of themselves being in poor health will talk about poor health. Even though they may be in good health, they seem to live out the reality of the image they have of themselves even unto death.
This would confirm Proverbs 18:21, Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
What you believe and speak not only affect your body, but your immune system, cells regeneration from surgery or injuries, and going even farther, the health of your spirit and your mind, even spoiled or dying relationship with others, your far away dreams and hope, and let not leave out our finances IMAGE. Our words of failure or success has become either a blessing or a curse to ourselves..maybe even to others.(if they agree or not with your words)

Yes, it certainly does. Your Bible Scripture and comments are extremely accurate. Keep posting the good news about how to stay healthy. Speak good health into your body. A young person that would keep their eyes and ears on the Lord throughout their life will live everyday in good health. Jesus said - "keep my commandments." Jesus said that He came to give us life and give us life more abundantly.
Thank you for posting accurate, good information.

It depends a lot on the attitude of the family you were raised in. A family of hypochondriacs, when they ask each other how they are, they really want to know, so they search for something serious.
I used to tell our children that they had tough genes, having come from a mix of sturdy Yorkshire stock and bog Irish, so as a result, they are all as fit as a butcher's dog.

Yes, I strongly believe so!!! You wake up with a negative attitude your most likely going to have a bad day but if you just say thats life and get over it with a positve attitude you and everyone around you are going to be much happier!!!

attitude in life is what gives us good luck or bad.
it either gravitates towards us or veers away.
attitude is changeable with practice practice practice .
