What do allergies, asthma, hypertension, acne, insomnia, and obesity have in common?

They’re just a few of the conditions that can be made worse by stress.

Stress relief should form an important part of your daily lifestyle.

Stress can trigger symptoms, increase their severity or frequency, and lengthen the time you suffer with them.

Stress can also compromise recovery.

No good holistic or “natural” approach to healing would ignore stress as a critical component of illness.

Specific emotional states like depression, for example, have been linked to “hard core” conditions like diabetes and heart disease.

Conventional medicine continues to obsess over cholesterol as a “risk factor” for heart disease, meanwhile ignoring the very real - and much more serious - risks from trauma, divorce, anger, loneliness, grief, and abusive relationships.

Natural medicine worthy of the name can never ignore the role of stress - nor of attitude and emotions - in healing the body.

Managing stress is as important to healing and health as anything you can take in pill form, from the most potent pharmaceutical drug to the gentlest herb.

Nearly all classic stress-management techniques - from yoga to meditation - center on deep breathing.

Try the following technique to get started on your own personal stress-busting routine:

* Sit quietly in a comfortable position, hands resting on knees, palms up.
* Try to quiet your mind. It helps to think of a comforting phrase like “let go.”
* Close your eyes and inhale deeply, concentrating on your breath.
* Hold for just a second. Then exhale deeply, saying your chosen phrase quietly in your mind.
* Repeat for 10 deep breaths, concentrating only on your breath and your phrase.

Stress is a major culprit in bad health, learn to practice stress relief and you will live a longer healthier life.

clipped from nutritionresearchcenter.org Can Laughing Your Ass Off Heal You? “If it weren’t for the brief respite we give the world with our foolishness, the world would see mass suicide in numbers that compare favorably with the death rate of lemmings.” — Groucho Marx It’s been said before that laughter is the best medicine. Some people have sworn that having a good attitude and a load of laughs have cured them of their life-threatening illnesses. Is there any scientific validity to this idea of laughing and healing? Chinese doctors have been saying for thousands of years that attitudes affect disease. Anger causes stagnation, which can cause cancer and other tumors, according to Traditional Chinese Medicine. So it’s a very ancient idea. But what exactly does laughter do for you, and can it heal you?

Laugh yourself happy and healthy.
