Stress the silent.......Stress kills. It's a wonder why Western Medicine doesn't give it the credit it deserves. We have blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar numbers that we equate to health. We don't however have a number for stress. It isn't quantifiable or easily measurable so Western Medicine has little place for it. We do however have barbiturates, anti-depressants and the like which put serious chemical stress on our body's systems. Stress and stressful situations are difficult to avoid so instead of running from it or adding fuel to the flames with medications, use these Quick Stress Busters to help deal with overload and increase your clarity. I think you'll find other pieces of your health and life will benefit as well.

When we laugh our bodies release a cocktail of hormones & chemicals that have astonishing positive effects on the systems running our bodies. Stress is reduced, blood pressure drops, depression is lifted, your immune system is boosted & more. Western science is just starting to discover the great effects of laughter. It is currently being used in some progressive cancer treatment centers but clearly not enough in everyday America. Laughter is the best pill on the planet! Mixing laughter with living is one reason the rest of the world has a much better health picture than Americans.

The laughter movement started with Dr. Madan Kataria in India in 1995 and now there are over 2000 laughter clubs all over the world. Who would have thought that happiness could bread healthfulness? This is another case where we don’t need science to prove the obvious.
