Positive people live longer and heal better. Multiple studies show that positive thinking improves the body's ability to fight disease. Medical schools now accept that the body's response to stress can suppress parts of the immune system and, long term, lead to damaging levels of inflammation. The brain is directly wired to the immune system. The bottom line is, stress causes inflammation in the body which is a common source of many disorders and diseases. Positivity is an anti-inflammatory antidote to stress, protecting your body from disease. dailygreatness.co

A new study suggests that up to 70% of us aren't getting enough good sleep. But, with some small changes to your snoozing habits, you might finally get the kind of restorative rest you deserve. Wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends. Your circadian rhythm affects your digestion, your cognition, and your sleep so keeping your sleep consistent helps maintain your overall health in many ways. Getting back to sleep in the middle of the night can be as easy as taking a few deep breaths. The 4-7-8 breathing technique can help you get calm and relaxed. First, breathe in for the count of four. Then, hold your breath for a count of seven. Finally, breathe out while counting to eight. This lowers your heart rate in the middle of the night. That provides a calming sensation that makes it easier to get back to sleep. Happy sleeping! today.com

Research suggests that regular cardio exercise can help with preventing skin aging, and also reverse it in people over 40. Regular exercisers who were over the age of 40 had skin that was closer in composition to that of a 20 or 30-year-old than to the non-exercisers their own age. well.blogs.nytimes.com

Numerous case and clinical studies are revealing that there is a relationship between abnormalities in the spine, the nervous system, and the various health challenges that infants experience, especially following birth trauma. In one case report, a 14-day-old male infant was suffering from a birth injury to the nerves that supply the shoulder, arm, and hand. The Caesarean delivery was difficult and involved "a lot of tugging." Although the medical staff acknowledged the injury, nothing was done because imaging did not confirm any issues. The baby experienced a total loss of function in his right arm after delivery. The chiropractor in this study examined the infant and found a structural shift in his neck. This can lead to obstruction of the nerves and it is this obstruction, called vertebral subluxation, that chiropractors correct. After a few chiropractic adjustments, the infant regained full function and improved muscle tone in his arm. Who do you know that could benefit from chiropractic care? chiropractic.prosepoint.net
