Hope can be defined as belief that what we want will happen or desire accompanied with expectation. Researchers found that an attitude of hope (looking for a positive future) caused people to choose healthy life practices. "Happy people are more likely to eat candy bars, whereas hopeful people choose fruit...That's because when people feel hope they're thinking about the future."
The researchers conclude with this: "So, the next time you're feeling well, don't focus too much on all the good things in the past. Instead, keep that positive glow and focus on your future, especially all the good things you imagine to come. Your waistline will thank you."
