More innovation, more longevity?



For a long time, researchers have always tried to find health and five major personality traits: affinity, extraversion, emotional instability, openness to experience, conscientiousness - the relationship between. Many studies have pointed out, emotionally unstable people without a strong sense of responsibility to human health. Openness to experience generally represents a wider tolerance in the perception of new ideas easier to accept. People have this personality trait to live longer, mainly because they are more creative, and creative thinking can help address the psychological pressure, to maintain brain health.

? Published in the "Journal of Aging and Health" (Journal of Aging and Health), a study of the June issue shows that openness to experience implies longevity. However, some studies this year, also found that personality traits associated with a lower metabolic rate, higher self-rated health and more appropriate stress response.

? The study tried to find out, what exactly is an aspect of the personality of openness to experience people's life becomes longer. Researchers from 1990--2008, collected the more than 1000 older data, after analysis found that reducing mortality, not intellectual factors, not the general openness to experience personality factors, but creativity.

The authors, from the University of Rochester Medical Center Tuer Nuo Nicholas (Nicholas Turiano) said: "The individual has a high creative brain can always maintain the integrity of the system, even if very old are so." He also Yale University study published in January mentioned. The study shows that openness to experience personality and tenacity of the white matter, whereas the toughness of the white matter of just showing different areas of the brain's nerve connections.

? The brain is the command center for all body functions, exercise the brain it means that our body systems will run more smoothly. Tuer Nuo said: "keep your brain healthy is the most important factor to slow aging, as shown in our study - creative people live longer."

? At the same time, he also referred to the situation of the people in the creativity to adapt to stress. When these people face emotional or physical harm, not so easy to control. Excessive pressure can damage our health, including cardiovascular, immune and cognitive systems. Tuer Nuo said: "The innovative pressure is usually depends on the challenge instead of obstacles, so they will actively overcome." Although the study only looked at those born relatively straightforward person, that has experience openness and human dignity, but the result is the same can explain, more creative thinking, can ease the psychological pressure, brain exercise, improve physical health.
