  1. Laughter- improves circulation.
  2. Love- better cholesterol, fewer CV risks and better weight.
  3. Determination- active coping skills have better NK cell function.
  4. Expressiveness- Women who bottle up their feelings are four times more likely to pass away for any reason in a ten year period. Doesn't affect men the same way.
  5. Pleasure- self-explanatory ;).
