Report One People with sweet childhood memories, especially good relationships with parents, will have less stress and fewer diseases after they grow up, according to a research in the magazine Health Psychology. "We found that good memories seem to have a good effect on health. Perhaps they can reduce stress or help us keep healthy choices in life. " said the researchers of the study. The researchers used more than 22, 000 people in two studies. The first period followed adults in their mid 40s for 18 years and the second period followed adults 50 and over for 6 years. In both groups, people who remembered higher levels of love from their mothers as children experienced better physical health later in life. Those who had memories with more support from their fathers also had less feelings of sadness. |
Report Two Keeping away from depression (低落的情绪) has become the main goal for many people nowadays, but hugging the depression may be more helpful, a new study reports. Many people may experience the time when they are sad or feel they can 't enjoy anything. They hate being weak. So they hide their true feelings. But the report says this behavior can even make the depression worse. The more attention people pay on happiness, the more disappointed they might probably be. Researchers call on the people to have a more friendly and patient attitude (态度) about the depression. Only in this way will people not be afraid of it. They will be more likely to work out the problems, and then take actions to deal with them. |
