英語(yǔ)時(shí)差：疲倦到死（下）

Now, this doesn’t mean that feeling bored every once in a while will kill you. We’re talking about chronic boredom, as in being bored all the time. And it’s not necessarily boredom itself that’s deadly. Most probably, according to the study, it’s the fact that being bored often leads to unhealthy habits such smoking, overeating, drinking, and abusing drugs. Other studies have linked boredom and depression–a disease known often to lead to poor health. Does this mean that being engaged and interested–in other words, the opposite of bored–leads to better health? Maybe. If not being bored means being physically active and adopting good dietary and exercise habits, then it certainly can’t hurt.
