Emerging research suggests that positive emotions and resilience (including the ability to self-regulate) offer protection against CHD. New research is elucidating the pathophysiology to explain the effects of emotion and resilience on disease risk; for example, recent work has begun to consider how the relaxation response promotes resilience and found that it induces genomic changes that counter oxidative stress and associated cellular damage.
