幸福的婚姻，幸福的心脏
杨百翰大学的一项研究显示：婚姻幸福的人比婚姻不幸或单身的人血压要低;而对单身成人或者是婚姻不幸福的人来说，即使有着良好的社交圈也不会有益于血压。
“婚姻似乎会给健康带来一些独特的益处。但并不是仅仅结婚就会对健康有好处，真正最能保护健康的是幸福的婚姻。”此研究的作者，关系与健康的心理学专家，朱利安•霍尔特-兰斯泰德在准备好的声明中如此说道。
这项研究包括204名已婚人士和99名单身成年人，他们把便携式血压监测仪带上24小时。监测仪在不固定间隔时间段记下血压数，共计下约72次读数。
“我们希望捕捉到实验对象在做他们日常生活中通常所做的任何事情时的血压。在诊室里获取一两个读数并不能真正代表一天之内发生的血压波动。”霍尔特-兰斯泰德说。
总体来说，婚姻幸福的人比单身成年人的血压要低四个点数。研究还发现已婚者，尤其是婚姻幸福者，在睡眠时比单身的人血压下降得更多一些。
“研究已经显示血压在夜间仍保持高位的人比血压在夜间下降的人更容易犯心脏病。”霍尔特-兰斯泰德说。
这项研究发表在3月20日的《行为医学年鉴》上。
这项研究还发现婚姻不幸的成年人比婚姻幸福的人和单身成年人的血压都要高。
霍尔特-兰斯泰德注意到已婚夫妇可以帮助彼此养成健康习惯，如健康饮食，定期看医生。她说幸福婚姻中的人们还可以获得情感支持。

许多战胜癌症的妇女旧习未改
许多与乳腺癌作斗争的妇女会告诉你：这场斗争改变了她们的一生。然而，一项新研究发现，对许多妇女而言，这些变化并非总是正面的或持久的。
贝斯•斯诺克曾目睹母亲、祖母和外祖母战胜乳腺癌的经过。因此，当她诊断出患有乳腺癌时，她心里十分清楚自己该做些什么。
“无论是吃的药、维生素，还是饮食、健身，我都按医生说的去做。这一点特别重要，怎么强调都不为过。”贝斯•斯诺克说道。然而，一项惊人的新研究显示，并非每个战胜乳腺癌的妇女都谨遵医嘱。事实上，近40%的妇女说虽然她们战胜了乳腺癌，但并未在饮食方式或运动量上有多大改变。
俄亥俄州立大学的综合性肿瘤中心的Electra Paskett博士说道：“并非所有的幸存者都有效利用了这个有教育意义的时刻，积极改变生活方式，促进健康。”她也指出，饮食和运动已证明不仅有助于妇女在治疗中和治疗后恢复健康，而且可以防止某些癌症卷土重来。尽管这样的证据越来越多，但一些妇女就是不听。
“事实表明，那些经常锻炼身体的结肠癌幸存者的存活率已大为提高。因此，如果我们做出一些有益健康的选择，确实可以促进他们的健康。”Paskett说道。
Paskett本人也是一名乳腺癌幸存者，她亲身体会到饮食和运动的作用的确很大。她说，现在面临的挑战是如何让更多的幸存者在治疗中和治疗后都像贝斯一样谨遵医嘱。
专家说加强身体锻炼、饮食更加健康也能缓解压力，有助于妇女消除抑郁症。美国有两百多万名乳腺癌幸存者。其中，近一百万名妇女需要改善她们的饮食或运动习惯。

"The scientific fact seems to be that happiness and positive mental health follow a giant 'u' 3 through life," said study author Andrew J. oswald, a professor of economics at warwick university in warwickshire, England. "For the average person, it's high when you're 20, and then it slowly falls and bottoms out 4 your 40s. But the good news is that your 5 health picks up again, and eventually gets back to the high levels of our youth."
The finding was 6 on the pooling of several different sources of happiness data, including: two multi-decade happiness/satisfaction surveys (first launched in the 1970s), involving about 500,000 American and western European men and women; four rounds of the 80-nation "world Values Survey" __ 7 __ between 1981 and 2004 in North America, Eastern and western Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and central and South America; and a 2004-2008 survey __ 8 ___ nearly 1 million Britons.
