…get a nice hot mug of tea or coffee. Yale University social psychologist Dr. John Bargh says holding something warm stimulates the brain region that processes physical sensations – and social trust. So holding a warm beverage makes us emotionally warmer, more trusting, and helps us feel more connected to others. Which is important – because new research from the University of Chicago shows that loneliness can alter immune cells in a way that increases the risk of illness – and raises our risk of an early death by 14%.

If someone upsets you – you have two choices: You can either fly off the handle – or let it go. Here’s why researchers say you should let it go…

•In a recent study, people who frequently fought or became enraged had double the risk of death from all causes.

•Meanwhile, letting things go is linked with better blood flow and a more efficient heartbeat.

That’s not to say that an occasional argument is going to kill you. But turning the other cheek may ultimately make you healthier.
