Have you ever thought of using laugher therapy for stress relief or as an instant vacation from your daily troubles. 

As you may have heard, laughter is the best medicine.  Laughter can  boost your immune system, and lower your blood pressure (especially in women).  It eases pain (you can completely forget about your pains or aches while laughing), and laughter can help reduce your risk of heart attack and stroke.

Are you depressed, fatigued, have a stress illness or have problems sleeping. Laughter therapy may help.

Oh, and did I mention that laughter therapy moves our lymph and increases oxygenation, which helps with detox cleansing of our body?

But the most important is that laughter helps us to raise serotonin level, which is very important for fighting our seasonal blues.

So let us laugh !!!!

“When women are depressed they either eat or go shopping. Men invade another country.”– Elayne Boosler

Do you like winter? How do you feel during winter months? How about winter blues or seasonal depression? To feel fabulous you may need more serotonin in your system, a chemical that can help us get into a better mood.

You can boost your serotonin level with laughter, indulging in dark chocolate, eating more tryptophan rich foods, using aromatherapy and essential oils such as sage, lemon and grapefruit, lavender rosemary, and last but not least, sex.

Seasonal Blues, Better Sleep and Other Good Reasons to Eat Walnuts

Or you can simply eat more walnuts, one of the richest sources of serotonin and omega-3 essential fatty acids, which are both necessary to fight seasonal depression and insomnia. And speaking about omega-3 essential acids, they can also whelp you achieve a healthy heart, better memory and beautiful skin.

Fresh walnuts, like all healthy nuts, help us to suppress appetite which can help lose weight.

Walnuts are also rich in fiber, so they will help us get rid of constipation, lower blood pressure and cholesterol level, prevent colon cancer and diabetes, get rid of headaches and migraines, reduce risk of heart attack and stroke, get our hormones back in balance, and reduce PMS.
