Awards really do benefit your health!

At least, according to this brand-new study:

Scientists have discovered a novel way to live longer – to add two years to your life, just win a Nobel Prize.

Researchers found that the prestigious award brings cash, kudos, and a way to delay the Grim Reaper’s arrival.

The
dramatic result is put down to the positive effect of winning the
prize, according to the authors of the study, who claim the sudden
increase in status of prize-winners brings a “health-giving magic” to
recipients.

However, although this latest death-defying elixir
may only be available to a selected few, the researchers from the
University of Warwick claim there is a serious basis to their Mortality
and Immortality study.

I wonder if this applies to the Booker, the Edgar or the Daggers, too…
