Try to Find the Silver Lining
A positive outlook is good for your heart: Optimists are 30 percent less likely to die of heart disease than pessimists, found a University of Pittsburgh study following 100,000 postmenopausal women. The next time you face a challenge, count your blessings or talk it over with a friend until you find the brighter side of things.
Take Depression Seriously
Depression leads not only to weight gain, lethargy and sleep problems, it also makes suffering a heart attack more likely, found a study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. Women who are depressed are twice as likely as women who aren't to die from sudden cardiac death, according to researchers. If you're feeling depressed, ask your doctor about treatment.
