First, the good news – according to a study done at the Univ of Chicago, which was the most thorough study of happiness which began in 1972, Americans are happier as they grow older. This was followed up in 2008 in an extensive telephone survey of 340,000 ages 18-85, confirming those results. The data, published in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, revealed that feelings of stress and inadequacy increase from 18-50, after which, feelings of well-being steadily improve, showing those in their 80s are far happier! In addition, studies show that body temp declines as we age, so the elderly are actually “the coolest people on earth!”
BTW – Joyce also shares her recent research on longevity being aided by several foods that were previously banned, and other surprising health info!
Needless to say, this presentation contains lots of humor for those of us in the last 40 years of our lives!!!
