Doctors even conducted an experiment to confirm their theory: they infected groups of volunteers with a cold virus to assess the body reaction to the virus. Optimists were much more resistant to the virus! It is widely known that medicine has been acknowledging the influence of emotions on health for ages. However, it meant mostly negative feelings.
