 A study found that expressing gratitude can improve mental and physical health. Researchers discovered that heart patients who expressed gratitude had better mental and physical health outcomes compared to those who did not express gratitude. The study involved men and women diagnosed with stage B heart failure, where they were asked to keep a gratitude journal for eight weeks. Results showed that patients who practiced gratitude had improved mental health, including reduced depression and anxiety, as well as improved sleep quality. Additionally, they had lower levels of inflammation and improved cardiovascular health. The researchers concluded that incorporating gratitude practices into daily life may have a positive impact on overall health.
