WHILE YOU'RE AT IT, BUY A PACKER JERSEY.

Cheese Makes You Happy And Could Boost Healthy Aging.

A huge genetic analysis has found that people with better mental well-being tend to live longer and healthier – and certain lifestyle choices, like eating more cheese, could play a significant role in that effect.

Researchers in China didn't comb through the genes of millions of Europeans only to show that gouda is good-a for you, but that is one of the more attention-grabbing results. After all, who doesn't want to be told that eating more cheese will help them live longer and healthier lives?

Still, there's a lot more to the findings than just eating foods that make you feel happy.

Past observational studies have found that happiness can have an impact on how a person ages, even more so than smoking. But these are just associations that could be confounded by other, overlooked factors, such as socioeconomic status.

There's no mention of Packer jerseys among those confounding factors, which doesn't rule their ownership as contributing to your good cheer.
