Do happy people have healthier hearts, or do healthier hearts make people happier? Researchers at Columbia University would argue the case for the former. The Boston Globe reports that researchers at that school rated the happiness levels, on a scale of one to five, of more

The researchers theorize that stress releases hormones that can damage heart muscle and cause blood vessels to open too wide, allowing plaque buildups to
break off and clog the arteries.
