How to Beat the Cold and Flu
How to Beat the Cold and Flu
One of the most important ingredients to good health – if not THE most important - is happiness. More than previously thought.
I can really relate.
Before we moved away from the stresses of life in Los Angeles, I would occasionally get colds and the flu. Fact is, residing in L.A. was depressing my immune system. Because I wasn’t the happiest big city camper.
Then just like magic, once we left L.A.’s stressful environment, I haven’t been sick.
Coincidence? Possibly.
But I’m not so sure. Feeling happy and calm in my daily surroundings certainly boosted my immune system. Even while we lived in Vermont for a short time.
I soon learned it’s not the weather making you sick - Vermont’s a lot colder than L.A – it is your body’s ability to eradicate germs before they make themselves at home in your bloodstream.
That’s what the latest study is confirming.
Get yourself into a happy, creative, calm state of mind and have a much greater chance of avoiding the cold and flu bugs this season.
Supposedly when happy people do catch a cold, they have fewer symptoms than you might expect. Why? Because happiness will not only protect your body from stress, but also boost your immune system so you don’t get sick.
Nothing like laughing away those ugly winter germs. A warm inner smile does wonders to eradicate those pesky foreign invaders.
All this good news is true regardless of your age, race, gender or body mass index.
There’s little doubt positive emotions wield a powerful spell on your well-being and physical health.
Maybe these studies seem trivial. But if you consider how many listless, tired, groggy weeks of illness you can avoid, let alone the drugs you won’t take – it’s actually really important.
Strengthen your immune system the fun way – by laughing, smiling and seeing the hidden humor in everything.
Warm Regards,
