Question

8．Want to stay away from colds？Put on a hap py face．
Compared to unhappy people，those who are cheerful and rel axed are less likely to suffer from colds，according to a new study．It's possible that being happy helps the body fight illnesses，say the researchers from New York University．
"It seems that positive feelings may reduce the danger of illness，"said the study's chief researcher Sheldon Cohen．In an earlier study，Cohen found that people who were cheerful and lively caught coughs and colds less often．People who showed feelings were also less likely to tell their doctors that they felt ill．
In this study，Cohen's interviewed 193 adults every day for two weeks．During the interviews，the people told researchers about the happy or sad feelings they had that day．After the two weeks，the people were given colds by doctors and had to stay alone in a room for six days．
   The result showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get ill．But for people who said th ey felt happy during the research period，their illness was less serious and lasted for a shorter time．
Cohen believes that when people experience positive feelings，their body may produce a chemical that helps fight illness and disease．So if you are worried abut your health，look on the bright side more often．
