Refer to Yourself Less in Conversations

Believe it or not, people who speak more about others than themselves in conversations are less likely to suffer from heart disease! Larry Scherwitz, Ph.D., a research scientist from the University of California, conducted an innovative study in which he taped the conversations of approximately 600 men; A third of these men were suffering from heart disease; the rest of the men were all healthy.

He counted how often they used the words I, me, and mine in conversations. When he compared his results, he discovered that the men who used those words the most had the highest risk for heart trouble. Yes, self-centeredness is indeed a risk factor for coronary heart disease
