Telling the truth is good for your health, study says — honestly!

In addition to making your nose longer, lying has other detrimental effects on your health. A study presented recently at the annual meeting of the American Psychological Association found that operating without a high level of B.S. is good for you.

Even telling just fewer white lies in a week saw the study participants report less mental health complaints such as feeling tense or melancholy, and fewer physical ailments such as sore throats and headaches.
