Boredom- The Silent Killer

It may have been a common issue with lot of people in childhood that when they felt bored and conveyed that to their parents, the reply they got was that boredom is a feeling hidden deep in ones own, and only that person has to find a way to fight it. The reply was true, it is always for that person feeling bored to find ways to keep themselves engaged and keep their lives busy with some or other interesting works that adds value.

A recent scientific research proves the fact that those childhood advices on boredom were more important than they were realized at that time, even by the parents who gave the advice. The study suggests that even though the feeling of boredom maybe seeming to be quite harmless but in the long run it can prove damaging for the health, whether it is with a particular relationship, or work, or life in general.

The study that was conducted by “University College London” clearly states that people with high level of boredom are twice more likely to be dying young compared to those who doesn’t feel bored in the same level.

Researchers say that boredom itself may not be lethal. However, it triggers a number of negative feelings in people such as harmful behaviors like excess drinking or heavy smoking and even consumption of drugs, and even depression. These negative traits lead to chances of stroke and heart attack.
