Happiness Helps Reduce Stress
Good quality of life has health and happiness as two basic pillars. Happiness and health have been anecdotally linked for long and no doubt that a strong connection exists between them.

Happiness has been positively associated with healthier behaviours. And healthier behaviours in turn help control high blood pressure and excess body fat, resulting in lower risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease.
