More than 160 studies performed in time have shown that being happy makes one live longer. Scientist say that happiness is not necessary a “drug” for prolonging your life. But having a positive attitude, seeing the glass half-full leads to  a reduction in stress hormones and a boost in immune system function, both of which should lead to a longer life.
