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 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 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 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>\n1. High conscientiousness<\/h4>\n
