Curious to Live Longer?

Can being curious help you to live longer? Yes!!!

According to a study funded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), a heightened sense of curiosity may actually add years to your life!

This study tested curiosity levels of 1200 men and women over the age of 65. The test subjects were oerved for 5 years to see if a link could be established between curiosity levels and an extended life span.

Testing indicated that those subjects who had higher curiosity levels were 30% more likely to live beyond those 5 study years than those who had just average levels of curiosity!

Researchers concluded that higher curiosity levels may indicate an increased ability to handle various problems and situations, such as limited mobility or changes in environment and lifestyle. Curious minds want to know ? and for good reasons!
