How your mindset determines your health - BBC News website

http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20180410-how-your-mindset-determines-your-health

Another "Fancy that!" cutting-edge science report from the BBC website.

 

I saw no mention of the possibility that subjective feelings about fitness may relate to greater physical problems with doing exercise and therefore be associated with, but not cause, physical health problems. eg if doing a certain level of exercise takes more effort that could correlate with both a greater chance of physical health problems and a greater chance of rating oneself as doing less exercise than ones peers.

The author, Claudia Hammond, was the facilitator at this Wellcome Event on Exhaustion with Wessely and Anna Katharina Schaffner.

There is too much stupidity in this world!

 

Says it all really

 

What a coincidence. I have recently been wondering whether Wellcome Foundation has an agenda, or just too much money. Iwas struck by the fact that Wessely's and also David's early groundbreaking work was funded by Wellcome Foundation grants. We must be grateful for their generosity.

Edit I have just noticed this elsewhere, written by Sharpe.

"I wish to acknowledge my collaborators in the Oxford Chronic Fatigue Project........The project isfunded by the Wellcome Trust"

It's a small world.

in a very simple test ie thought process I found human mortality at 100%. its just a matter of time.

 

It's funny how the author proposed three explanations, completely ignoring the most obvious: people who are less healthy are less active as a result.

 

Don't they claim to have controlled for that ?
