It's Your Handshake That Indicates Your Longevity!

i dont believe this is indicative of longevity, i think the handshake just displays a person's confidence.,.

I won't comment except saying that it's the finding of a scientific study!

That is true i agree with the statement..Handshake should be firm. It is part of body language and tells the state of mind of the individual.. :)

Yes research has done and it is proved that firm handshake is necessary..
I have seen a research article which is really very informative..

http://research.ua.edu/2001/08/study-suggests-firm-handshakes-and-good-impressions-really-do-go-hand-in-hand/

Very good fact shared here. I would like to add that even number of relatives and friends of a person determine his or her longevitivy. Make more good friends and your chances of living longer and happier grow.

But as the swine flu is spreading fast avoid handshaking and say namaste. ;) :P .Thanks for the information,Jayen.

1.Extend your right hand to meet the other person's right hand.
2.Point your thumb upward toward the other person's arm and extend your arm at a slight downward angle.
3.Wrap your hand around the other person's hand when your thumb joints come together.
4.Grasp the hand firmly and squeeze gently once. Remember that limp handshakes are a big turnoff, as are bone-crushing grasps.
5.Hold the handshake for 2 to 3 seconds.
6. Pump your hand up and down a few times to convey sincerity. (This gesture is optional.)

But Keep in mind, Handshake should not become Bodyshake for others!!
:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :laugh:

This is a good information! A firm handshake means good self-esteem, self- confidence and positive attitude - all of which are indicators of good health and necessary to lead a good life, therefore ts no wonder that people with good handshake lead a good and long life!!

Although like Nagalakshmi says, Namaste is a better option now!! :laugh:

There is another way too kalyani and nagalakshmi chinese and Japanese way of bowing.. :P :laugh: :laugh:

That's right ,Kumaresh! A handshake should not be an earthquake!!!!

Yes Chinmoy!!
Earthquake!!! :blink: :blink: :woohoo: :woohoo: !!

Sometimes it becomes a torture :dry: for others, when a person holds other's hand too firmly, showing his physical strength.

So Namaste is the best!!! :)

It is a nice news.But if one behaves strong after reading this what does it infer?

The inference would be that my post has helped them to regain their strength!!!!!

Yes, I agree with this one

Kumaresh, how come you get all these rhyming words "body shake","earth quake" etc...I really can't stop appreciating you poet. :) :P

The 'earthquake' bit is my riposte to his body shake! I agree I can't match his poetic skills but a poor attempt on my part!!!

Heeeh.. :laugh: :laugh: Chinmoy's earthquark or kumaresh's Bodyshake....There is no way we can not avoid such people sometimes.neither we can not avoid good relationship connected with handshake..

That's very well said ,Rajani! A warm handshake means a lot!!

I miss Kumaresh reply for this thread. :) :) :)
