Want to live a longer, healthier and more successful life? An optimistic outlook can help you achieve all three. Researchers at Yale University say people who think positively live 7.5 years longer than those who don't. The effect was more important than lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

Motivational author Charles Kovess says it's important to remember that you are bound to meet negative people. Don't let them throw you off course. He recommends being grateful for all experiences because we grow stronger by getting through the negatives. Our actions are the results of our be

Store shelves are crowded with antimicrobial products. Some can help prevent disease, but often there are less-drastic cleaning methods that will be just as effective and less harsh.  Antibacterial household cleansers: When used as directed (with rubber gloves in a well-ventilated room), these are your best tools against the bacteria, viruses, and fungi that flourish on kitchen and bathroom fixtures, counters and sink drains.  Germ busters at the University of Arizona say regularly disinfecting curbs the chance that one person's cold or flu will spread to others.
