Live an organized live to increase your life expectancy

As boring as it may sound to the disorderly masses it is quite true that an organized lifestyle increases your life expectancy. In a recent study conducted by international researches new facts providing conclusive evidence for the above mentioned statement have been discovered. According to the results of the study people that are organized and ambitious are likely to live longer than those that live an impulsive daily routine.

The research brings to light the importance of psychological traits in predicting health conditions much in the same way as social and medical factors are regarded. The study revealed that conscientious people live a four years longer on an average. Furthermore the study also revealed that organized people are less likely to pick up bad habits such as smoking and drinking and generally live a less stressful life keeping them selves more stable. 
The lead professor Howard Friedman said “Not only do conscientious individuals have better health habits and less risk-taking, but they also (have) more stable jobs and marriages and may even have a biological predisposition toward good health,” 
The researchers made an in depth study of the three levels of conscientiousness. They are self control, organization and industriousness.  The study was conducted on 8900 participants from US, Germany, Canada, Japan, Sweden and Norway.
The second two categories were linked to longevity according to the research. The study also highlighted other traits such as reliability, thoroughness, competence, deliberation and dutifulness. Good marriages and stable jobs are factors that can contribute to making an individual more conscientious. The researchers believe their study can help people to think about their lives and the consequences of their actions. 
Co-Researcher Margaret Kern said “Even though conscientiousness cannot be changed in the short term, improvements can emerge over the long run as individuals enter responsible relationships, careers and associations.” 
In the good old days, life used to be orderly due to the driving force of necessity. As the standard of living has improved over time people have started indulging themselves in luxury. This has had a profound effect on their lifestyles which has become less organized. People are focused on instant pleasure and short term goals rather than organizing their lives and striving to keep a healthy body and mind for a longer period of time.
