Character\u00a0traits really can\u00a0make people less likely to suffer specific serious illnesses, according to a recent study.<\/h2>\n

Holistic medical traditions,\u00a0such as the Indian Ayurvedic tradition<\/a>, have long associated character traits\u00a0with health.<\/p>\n

Certain links made in these traditions seem to border on the superstitious, but there is now evidence from conventional science to confirm that behaviors and tendencies can have an impact on whether or not we develop particular\u00a0illnesses.<\/p>\n

The study<\/a>, carried out by a team of psychology researchers in the USA, found that people with the following character traits run less risk\u00a0of developing serious health problems such as lung disease, stroke, and heart disease:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. High conscientiousness<\/h4>\n

People who are highly conscientious are adept at an organization, as well as responsible and hard-working. According to the\u00a0study<\/a>, conscientiousness correlated with a significant decrease in the likelihood of\u00a0stroke (by 37 percent<\/em>). \u00a0It is possible to reason about why a correlation like this might exist.<\/p>\n

People who are organized and conscientious are less likely to suffer from anxiety<\/a>. Responsible, organized people expose themselves less to the stress of getting things done at the last minute. They are also likely to take more care of their diet and regimen.<\/p>\n

Conscientiousness is the single strongest predictor of good health according to another study<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2. Extroversion<\/h4>\n

People who are\u00a0extroverted are\u00a0also\u00a0less likely to suffer from certain diseases. Extroverts,\u00a0the study claims, are more likely to engage in ‘Wellness Behaviour’.\u00a0Extroverts are also less prone to anxiety, particularly social anxiety, and depression<\/a>.<\/p>\n

They are more likely to rely on\u00a0support from friends than trying to deal with their problems on their own, which surely contributes to a feeling of reassurance and peace. Extroverts, according to\u00a0a study<\/a> by the University of Nottingham, also have stronger immune systems than introverts.<\/p>\n

3. Openness to experience<\/h4>\n

People who are open to new experiences are\u00a0at considerably less risk of having a stroke (by 31 percent)<\/em>, developing a heart condition (by 17 percent)<\/em> and high blood pressure (by 29 percent<\/em>). People with this personality\u00a0trait\u00a0are usually also intelligent, broad-minded, and imaginative, according to the definitions in the same study.<\/p>\n

Open people, according to\u00a0other research,\u00a0might engage in more substance abuse than other groups. Nevertheless\u00a0this character trait, it seems, still contributes significantly to good health.<\/p>\n

4. Agreeableness<\/h4>\n

Agreeable people are also less likely to develop certain illnesses. Another study suggests that disagreeable<\/em> people are more likely to engage in risk-taking or unhealthy behaviors, as they are more likely to flout convention and rebel.<\/p>\n

Disagreeable people are also more confrontational and aggressive, meaning that their lives probably involve a greater deal of emotional distress.<\/p>\n

5. Low Neuroticism<\/h4>\n

Neuroticism is defined as a predisposition to anxiety, moodiness, worry, envy, jealousy, and loneliness.<\/strong> Neuroticism\u00a0increased the chances of getting a heart condition<\/a> by 24 percent<\/em>, lung disease by 29 percent<\/em>, high blood pressure by 37 percent<\/em>, and arthritis by 25 percent<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Neurotic people are more likely to engage in harmful health practices. They’re also less<\/strong> likely to engage in positive health behavior. This, added to the fact that they tend to experience greater extremes of negative emotion, means that they are more vulnerable to illness.<\/p>\n

It’s worth noting here that no<\/strong> character\u00a0trait was able to predict cancer.<\/p>\n

The conclusion seems to be those character traits connected to illness are the very same that cause us discomfort.<\/h4>\n
    \n
  • Not being conscientious can lead\u00a0to stress, guilt, and neglect for our physical health<\/span>.<\/li>\n
  • Introversion can have the side-effect of isolation. But what’s more likely to be the problem is the habit of\u00a0blowing worries\u00a0out of proportion\u00a0that can spring from it<\/span>. This can mean unnecessary stress and anxiety.<\/li>\n
  • Lack of openness to experience restricts\u00a0us and makes us feel outraged at others. We might even resent those who are more liberated\u00a0than we are.<\/li>\n
  • Being disagreeable can cause\u00a0us to\u00a0come into conflict with others<\/span> and isolate us, which makes\u00a0us anxious, or feel guilty or bitter.<\/li>\n
  • Neuroticism predisposes us to fear and anxiety<\/span> as well as a whole host of other negative emotions. This\u00a0loads us with unnecessary stress<\/span>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    It’s helpful to recognize\u00a0the personality traits inside ourselves that are causing us to feel damaging emotions. It’s more important, however, to work on the bad habits they predispose us to.<\/p>\n

    Is there something you can do to reduce stress in your life?\u00a0It can be very difficult to let go of certain bad\u00a0habits and liberate ourselves<\/span>. But, in the end, you might\u00a0be doing your health a favor if you do.<\/p>\n

    Why do you think these character traits contribute to illness<\/strong>? We’d love to hear your views.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
