5 Ridiculously Simply Health Boosters

“…that have nothing to do with diet or exercise

1. Open door. Go to park. British researchers recently found that strolling in a park reduced tension twice as much as walking indoors. Just eyeing pictures of nature has been shown to lower blood pressure and muscle tension within five minutes.

2. Dust off your uno deck. Bowling, sand-castle building, Scabulous - turns out games are more than fun. ‘Playing seems to improve immunity and help people rebound from illness,’ says Stuart Brown, M.D., who researches the health benefits of play.

3. Love your body more.In one recent study, women who liked their bodies (even if they were overweight) felt sick about 30 percent less often than women who wished they were thinner. ‘Feeling bad about yourself activates stress centers in the brain that can actually lead to disease,’ explains study author Peter Muenning, M.D.

4. Get to a pool and float. Recent Swedish research found that floatation therapy in a silent, water-filled tank can reduce pain and speed healing. Lying back in a quiet pool for 20 minutes could boost health too, says the study’s coauthor, Sven-Ake Bood, Ph.D.: ‘Floating produces a deep state of relaxation in the body.’

5. Hug someone.Cuddling, hugging or even just holding hands can trigger the release of oxytocin, ‘a hormone that has been shown to reduce stress, improve immune function and increase cardiovascular health.’ says James Fallon, Ph.D., professor of human behavior at the University of California, Irvine.”
