Sara Rimer's research article "The Biology of Emotion-What It May Teach Us about Helping People To Live Longer" (2011) informs that a positive outlook on life will improve your health. Rimer gives facts about health from researchers and her own research from being in college. Rimers purpose was to inform people on the health rates and how to stay positive in order to live a healthy lifestyle. The intended audience would be anyone trying to be healthy or who isn't healthy already and needs to get there.
I feel like Sara Rimer's "The biology of Emotion..." was uninteresting because I don't usually focus on my health and what I eat, but it was also very informative. Being that I am a teenager and we're known to eat unhealthy things and most of the time not care about our health, this article gave me a different outlook and makes me think about my health. At the end I was learned something new so I was more interested in my health and how I could better myself in life.
"Could a sunny outlook mean fewer colds and less heart disease?, Do hope and curiosity somehow protect against hypertension, diabetes and respiratory tract infections?"(83) are rhetorical questions that Rimer asked in the beginning to get the audience attention. "emotional vitality- a sense of enthusiasm, of hopefulness of engagement in life and the ability to face life's stresses with emotional balance appears to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease"(84) is the example she gave to say that being able to be stress free and have an balance on your emotions reduces your risk of getting a coronary heart disease.
