We’ve believed this way the longest time, but if a causation study can motivate people to make some simple changes that appear quite likely to change their outlook on life, then, so be it.

It is my hope that all who read Free Republic get as healthy as possible to continue the good fight.

Not entirely....I still feel an intense longing for a little Häagen-Dazs.

[DIRTYSECRET]

I prefer sex myself.

I am happy with a big ‘ol burger.

Conversely take meat off my menu and I will NOT be happy!

The researchers, Dr. Adelina Gschwandtner (Kent's School of Economics), Dr. Sarah Jewell and Professor Uma Kambhampati (both from the University of Reading's School of Economics), used an instrumental variable approach to filter out any effect from happiness to lifestyle.

Then to one they will also tell you having the government run everything also makes you happy so grovel citizen!

Did FukXi approve this and how many masks do we have to wear?

It does seem to hep improve physical and mental health just takes some getting used to.

Wait a sec—there’s actually such a thing as a “Journal of Happiness Studies”?

[BusterDog]

Cigarettes and beer.

I eat what I want. Very diverse diet. Had Scallops with a lemon butter sauce for lunch and fresh picked Concord grapes for desert. I’m in Upstate NY. For exercise, I go to our Farmers Market...and hit every store I can until I beat out. I’m 77 and nap time is coming up.

[Veto!]

I eat lots of veggies, love them. Some need to be organic, others do not. Steam them to keep nutrients in.

Blood pressure goes down if I get to the treadmill at the gym several times a week and do a mile as fast as I can.

[17th Miss Regt]

ability of individuals to delay gratification and apply self-control plays a major role in influencing lifestyle decisions,

This bears repeating over and over.

[right way right]

Give me low glycemic effect fruit vegetables and Steak!

Häagen-Dazs is sold around the world, but at 3 times the American price. USDA’s dairy support is Fedzilla’s most delicious market interference.

I like to go down to the local farmers market.

Bought three farmers on Saturday.

Not really.

I buy my fruits and vegetables and put on my running shoes and then I run by my neighbor Steve’s house and pelt him with fruits and vegetables while yelling,

“This is for your fondue you cheese soup making geek!”

[DesertRhino]

I’ve found that a good Texas chicken fried steak a western on TV, leading into a nap pleases me also.

“Some need to be organic, others do not. Steam them to keep nutrients in.”

Better to boil them so they are palatable, and drink the pot liquor when you want the nutrients.

My favorite tree vegetable is maple syrup!

What’s yours?
